Come on a tour of the Loaded Literacy site to see how to access your book and the lay out of the learning activities. 

Each of the Read to Read books are based around one or more Focus sounds. The Loaded Literacy Sites are based around the books and focus sounds.

Non-decodable words, heart words, sight words or Kete Kupu are the same concept but go by differnt names. These are the words we need to learn off by heart so they are easy to access when we need to apply them in our reading and writing. 

Word chains not only apply spelling patterns but help ākonga to segment sounds  It is amazing the success tamariki find when they play with sounds, move them around and create new words. This is a favourite task for many of my tamariki. In this video I gave given a lot of support. Support can lesson as tamariki become more confident.
