About the Rocket Phonics program
Rocket Phonics is part of the Reading Planet whole-school solution that will ensure every student achieves reading success and develops a real love of reading.
Rocket Phonics is a story-based Systematic Synthetic Phonics program for Foundation to Year 2 [Y1-3]. This ‘next generation’ program is based on the progression of Letters and Sounds and provides a complete package of print and digital resources to teach reading and writing. Importantly, you can also access everything via Reading Planet Online. With interactive libraries every book is provided as an eBook with additional features and resources for teachers, students and parents.
Rocket Phonics has been written by educational consultant and phonics expert, Abigail Steel. Using feedback from primary schools, this is a rigorous program that combines beautiful and engaging stories with in-depth phonics knowledge and skills.
