Children in the early years of primary school will be taught to use phonics to sound out words as they learn to read and encouraged to practise by reading a special type of book under a new literacy syllabus proposed by the NSW Education Standards Authority. 

Students who use Fitzroy materials prosper in spelling. The secret of our success is that we make students aware whether each word is normally spelled (belongs to a word family) or has a special spelling (and must be learned by rote). Flagging each word in this simple way gives students a head start in accurate reading and writing.
