Mundijong Primary School is committed to a consistent evidence-based approach to teaching reading.
At the heart of our approach is the consistent use of explicit instructional techniques in every classroom to build strong literacy skills for all students. Our targeted focus on Phonological Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Fluency, and Comprehension—combined with a comprehensive, multi-tiered Reading Intervention Program—ensures that every student’s literacy needs are effectively met.
Our students from Pre-Primary to Year 2 engage in the InitiaLit phonics program, which provides a structured sequence of lessons and activities designed to build strong foundational decoding skills. To support students requiring additional assistance, we implement MiniLit as a targeted decoding intervention for Early Childhood learners, and MultiLit for students in Years 3–6 who need extra support with reading.
Students in Years 3–6 continue to strengthen their phonological awareness and spelling skills through the Spelling Mastery program. Classes engage in Ochre novel studies to deepen their understanding of complex texts, while the Syntax Project resources are used to enhance sentence-level writing proficiency.
