Give Your Child a Head Start in Reading and Maths

Every parent wants their child to do well at school and to develop a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy. Success in reading and maths is essential for your child's ongoing achievement and confidence. Sunshine Online will help your child learn to read and develop important skills as they become independent readers.

How is the Program Organised?

The website is divided into three Learning Spaces so that your child can work at a space and level that is appropriate for them.

Learning Space 1: Ages 4-5, Emergent Reader

The initial part of the program is aimed at pre-schoolers and the first year of school. Here your child will learn about the alphabet and 48 essential high-frequency words and begin their reading journey with simple, repetitive stories. They will also learn about simple maths language and concepts.

Learning Space 2: Ages 5-7, Early Reader

Here the stories become more complex as your child develops reading and writing skills. Your child is also learning about the sounds – letter blends and word families – to help with both reading and spelling. They will also explore more maths stories and maths concepts.

Learning Space 3: Ages 7-10+, Fluent Reader

Here your child will be developing greater reading fluency and independence and there is a move from learning to read to reading to learn. The stories at this level are reasonably complex and the activities offer your child many opportunities to demonstrate their comprehension and practise writing and spelling.
