A reading intervention for younger students
Some students take longer to learn the basic skills needed for reading.
Introduction
FivePlus has been crafted to help struggling students in Years 2 and 3 accelerate their learning of early literacy skills so that they can catch up to their peers.
Crafted by literacy expert Chuck Marriott, FivePlus uses a simple daily routine to teach skills of phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, encoding and reading fluency.
Within a few lessons, students demonstrate more confidence, skill and willingness to engage in reading and spelling.
“FivePlus delivers explicit and systematic teaching that yields results that are transferred by the student to classroom literacy activities.” Chuck Marriott, author

FivePlus is a short-term reading intervention programme for students who are struggling to read at the average reading attainment and are behind the National Standard for their class.
