Reading and writing start long before school does. If your child is heading into kindy or prep and you're wondering what you can actually do at home to set them up well, this is it.

This toolbox pairs with the Sound Awareness Program in the Hub and was developed by our speech pathologists to build the pre-literacy foundations that formal schooling depends on: rhyming, sound discrimination, blending, segmenting and early phonics. Spot markers, Slimy Rhymes, Eye Spy with My Little Eye, CVC Word Builders, Shape-a-Sound and a facilitator pamphlet all work together to turn those skills into games your child actually wants to play.

The activities cover phonological awareness, vocabulary, early reading and spelling, fine motor coordination and cooperative play. Everything is adaptable, so you can scale up or down depending on where your child is at. And because it's play-based, they'll be building the foundations for literacy without it feeling like study.

Suitable for ages 3-6.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Skills it can help build

Cognitive function skills through sound awareness activities like phoneme manipulation, auditory discrimination, and pattern recognition, children engage in critical thinking and problem-solving. These tasks can help them to make connections, identify patterns, aiming to build a strong foundation for early learning and literacy development

Executive function skills through game-based activities that involve blending and segmenting sounds can encourage children to plan, focus and follow directions. These tasks can also help to strengthen decision-making and goal-setting abilities, supporting their ability to stay organised and complete tasks effectively

Fine motor skills through hands-on activities like manipulating small objects and tools during sound-based games aim to promote hand-eye coordination and finger strength. These tasks can support fine motor development by laying the groundwork for skills like handwriting and other precise movements

Language and communication skills through interactive activities such as rhyming and sound discrimination aim to nurture pre-literacy skills which are useful building blocks for later literacy success. By introducing new vocabulary and practising sentence structures, the program may also support children’s expressive and receptive language development

"My child has an interest in letters, but I have no idea how to support and encourage this interest to maximise their literacy outcomes."

If these challenges sound familiar, you are not alone. It’s exactly why we’ve designed this program.

ABOUT THE VIDEO TRAINING

What the program covers

Would you like to support your child to feel prepared for starting school? Do you want to increase your knowledge of what you could be doing in addition to reading to your child to support their early literacy skills?

This program focuses on developing sound awareness skills such as rhyming, segmenting, blending and phonics, while also supporting vocabulary growth and auditory discrimination. Through engaging activities like movement games, board games and sensory activities, children can explore these skills in a way that aligns with their unique interests and developmental needs, building confidence and readiness for school.

Social and cognitive development is also supported through cooperative play integrated with phonological tasks, aiming to help children build skills like focus, problem-solving and following directions. Additionally, fine motor activities are incorporated to enhance hand-eye coordination and prepare children for handwriting.

Parents and caregivers will receive practical tools and strategies that can foster early literacy at home, with adaptable activities that can be scaled up or down depending on the child’s abilities and goals. With a focus on nurturing a love of learning, Sound Awareness Program offers a versatile and supportive approach to prepare children for formal schooling and future literacy success.
