Single step purchasing offers additional flexibility for professionals operating independently in learning support, speech pathology, or as a private tutor.

The pace of learning is different for each child, but it is anticipated Step 3 will take at least 3-4 weeks to master. For reading outcomes, a minimum of 5 sessions per week (20 minutes per session) is recommended.

What children will learn in Step 3

In Step 3 children will:

• practise unique strategies for reading and spelling
• start fine-tuning their listening skills by substituting first sounds in words to create new words (change the 'c' in cat to a 'p')
• establish strong letter-sound links for j, k, l, r, u, qu, w, x, y z using the Easy Alphabet 
• start reading words and word endings containing j, k, l, r, u, qu, w, x, y z and letters learned previously in Steps 1 and 2
• continue to build a bank of high-frequency words
• start writing words and short sentences

The Read3 Program works to strengthen the 3 foundational skills needed for reading and writing. Developed by experienced Speech Pathologist Robyn Monaghan, the strategies have proven effective when teaching children with multiple processing difficulties including: poor phonological awareness, poor working memory, poor letter-sound knowledge and poor rapid automatic naming. Learn more about Read3
