My name is Natalya and I am the founder of AussieRead
At AussieRead, our mission is to empower newly arrived children in Australia through foundational reading intervention.
With a focus on phonics-based instruction and decodable texts, we provide a comprehensive 12-week program tailored to children aged 5 to 12. Our goal is to equip these young learners with the essential reading skills needed to navigate the Australian education system and thrive in their new English-speaking environment.
Being an online course, AussieRead can reach families in need wherever they may be in Australia.

How does AussieRead teach reading?
Decodable Readers
Decodable books encourage children to sound out words using decoding strategies rather than guessing from pictures or predicting from other cues.
Small groups
Being in a small group of 4-6 enables students to receive tailored instruction, immediate feedback and ask questions, all of which can enhance learning outcomes.
Weekly homework
Engaging homework is given weekly to allow students to practice reading and decoding strategies which reinforces what they have learned in class.
