Here you will find electronic copies of the readers your children will be bringing home during the course of the intervention. You can use the pdf file to print off your own copies of these books. Or, you can choose to play a narrated version or non-narrated version of the story using Nearpod (via the website, or download the free app for tablets or phones).

When sounding out words it can be helpful to have a reference for how each letter or set of letters translates to a sound in the English language. These resources may be helpful for that:

• Vowel and Consonant Sounds in NZ English (use as a reference when listening to the audio files below)
• NZ English Vowel Sounds audio
• NZ English Consonant Sounds audio

If you would like to print out your own copy of the letter tiles your child is using in class, click here to download. These are perfect to use for the 'Spelling' activity at the back of the readers.
