Supporting Your Child's Reading with Rhino Readers Australia

Decodable readers are carefully designed texts that support early reading by prioritising the decoding process, an essential skill that enables children to segment words and recognise phonemes. These texts are intentionally structured using words that align with children’s developing phonics knowledge, allowing them to successfully decode and build fluency.
Join Sally as she explores how to get the most out of using decodable readers at home. The stories are crafted around carefully selected words, helping to build confidence and engagement while reinforcing key reading skills.
