Students will also require some knowledge of how to break words into syllables and syllable-breaking patterns.
• This decodable text also aligns with the New Zealand Ready to Read Phonics Plus Scope and Sequence used in many schools. The focus phonemes-to-graphemes in this text align with the Kākano – Māhuri phase, drawing on knowledge from multiple units. We suggest using this text with students working within the Māhuri phase to align best and practice previous skills learnt.
