# How do I know if I am choosing the correct resources for my Year 1 class?

PLD believes in a very structured approach in order for children to acquire skills. Strong focus is put on scheduling the transition between emergent literacy skills and early literacy skills. Through PLD’s [Implementation Process](http://pld-literacy.org/product/pld-whole-school-literacy-strategy/) (what to introduce and when to introduce it), a comprehensive map for skill development forms the platform for further educational needs and demands.

Presented are the essential skills for 4 and 5 year olds through to the needs of Year 1 students via a term-by-term model. To help take the guess work out of planning, recommended resources are matched to skill acquisition.

PLD’s [Implementation Process](http://pld-literacy.org/product/pld-whole-school-literacy-strategy/) outlines a step-by-step process to maximise students’ learning outcomes. It benefits:
* Those people who have purchased a resource/s and not sure when to start using them or with what other resources to use them with.
* People wanting to purchase resources that will provide a comprehensive program for achieving **age appropriate,** skill acquisition.

New for 2020, our PLD targeted starter packs contain they key resources for successful implementation. Find out more here: [https://pld-literacy.org/starter-packs-2/](https://pld-literacy.org/starter-packs-2/)
