If you're looking for readers that will match your child's ability then go to:
https://www.speld-sa.org.au/services/phonic-books.html
These online books are grouped in a developing order based on the order of sounds introduced in the Jolly Phonics early literacy program that we use at school.
Each book is published with suggestions on how parents, tutors and teachers can get the most out of the book.
Please use these readers at your discretion accounting for your child or children's abilities, ages and needs.
Tune in to the RTE Home School Hub where children will be able to watch, download and engage with curriculum-based content, project work, and fun activities that will keep them entertained and learning.
Every week day morning from 11am to 12 noon, on RTE 2, bilingual teachers will present three short class segments aimed at 1st and 2nd class, 3rd and 4th class and 5th and 6th class.
A catch-up programme later in the day, RTÉ Home School Extra at 4.15pm, is a takeover format, where primary school kids from all over the country can reconnect by uploading and posting video messages and content that RTÉ will showcase.
