In this book
The Reading Eggspress Spelling program provides instruction on spelling rules,
strategies and generalisations. Each lesson focuses on a core set of 20 words,
plus 10 challenge words to extend students. The crafted word lists are based on
the sound, structure and meaning of words, and were created to align with the
following components of the Australian Curriculum:
Australian Curriculum content codes and descriptions
ACELA1457 – Manipulate phonemes in spoken words by addition, deletion and
substitution of initial, medial and final phonemes to generate new words
ACELA1458 – Use short vowels, common long vowels, consonant digraphs and
consonant blends when writing, and blend these to read single syllable words
ACELA1459 – Understand that a letter can represent more than one sound and that
a syllable must contain a vowel sound
ACELA1778 – Understand how to spell one and two syllable words with common
letter patterns
ACELA1455 – Recognise and know how to use simple grammatical morphemes to
create word families
ACELA1821 – Use visual memory to read and write high-frequency words
ACELA1822 – Segment consonant blends or clusters into separate phonemes at the
beginnings and ends of one syllable words
