 SMART Foundation teaches sounds and letters from the

‘Word of the Week’

and common words from 

‘The Sentence of the Week’! 

 

The 'Word of the Week' inspires curiosity, excitement, hands-on shared experiences, rich oral language and most importantly…fun…and that makes learning stick!  Sounds and letters are taught explicitly and systematically in a carefully structured sequence from the Words of the Week.  ‘The Sentence of the Week’ places the most commonly seen words into meaningful sentences. These common words are explicitly taught by the classroom teacher and there is also home learning to support this called…‘My Weekly Words’

 

Enjoy a meaningful way to teach sounds, letters and common words in a related way that makes the most of meaning!  You and your kids will have so much fun!  In the membership site you'll have access to hour long SMART Foundation Course that is supported by printable notes and have exclusive access to digital downloads (see below) that will save you heaps of time!
