Phonics Kit 1 - The Basic Code

Our phonics kits give your child the confidence and support to learn phonics at their own pace!

Phonics Kit 1 - The Basic Code is required before moving on to Phonics Kit 2 and 3. Phonics Kit 1 - The Basic Code can be purchased in the complete Phonics Kit bundle (1, 2 and 3).

English can be a tricky language to learn. With 26 letters and 44 phonics speech sounds - we must gradually build our ability to ‘sound it out’ before we can spell and write with confidence. While this process takes longer for some, every child deserves the chance to become a confident communicator in a way that feels accessible and appropriate for them.

Our Phonics Kits have been designed to support your child or student to learn phonics at their own pace, in collaboration with a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist.

By making phonics fun and providing a tactile, hands-on multi-sensory experience, these resources help lay the groundwork for helping kids learn to read, interpret, and write words in school, home or therapeutic environments.

Beautifully made by Bandicute in Gunning NSW, using responsibly-sourced materials, there are three Phonics Kits available (Basic, Complex and Advanced). Each Kit has been designed to support your child or student to advance through reading levels on their way to becoming confident communicators.

What is included in this Kit?

Our Essential Kit or ‘Kit 1 - The Basic Code’ contains lessons for beginning readers. Kit 1 includes:

• 1 x tile board with black base that makes letters easy-to-read, featuring an acrylic writing board with etched handwriting lines for your child or student to practise writing as they’re learning to spell
• 1 x set of clear acrylic letter tiles complete with etched lettering and packaged in our drawstring calico bag for easy storage. Kit 1 contains the entire alphabet with multiples of consonants and vowels most frequently used, it also contains a blank letter tile to write an additional letter if needed. We have included 6 digraphs in this kit
• 1 x A3-sized black felt mat that provides maximum contrast for the letter tiles to make learning easier
• 1 x chalk marker so that they can get started learning and practising straight away
• 1 x set of instructions on how to use the Kit, created in collaboration with a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist
• Each Kit features a beautiful FSC Certified and responsibly-sourced timber frame. Both the tile board and acrylic letter tiles are easy to sanitise and wipe down using warm soapy water or alcohol wipes.
