How does the Early Years SSP Kit differ to the Foundation, Year 1 & Year 2 SSP Kits?
The SSP Kits are designed in two different formats.
The school format for Foundation, Year 1 and 2. These kits function differently from the Early Years Kit. https://pld-literacy.org/sspkits/ The Year 3-6 kits will also function in a similar way to the Foundation to Year 2 kits, in that they are integrated and include:
Whole class screen display teaching resources and Daily Reviews
Digital and hard copy resources for the Volume 1 and Volume 2 manuals (which means that integrating multiple books i.e. TiumeSavers and Phonic Dictation is no longer necessary).
A focus purely upon structured synthetic phonics.
Keep in mind, that for the cost, there are only so many programs that can be placed within the kit. Schools can supplement with additional oral language programs as required. https://pld-literacy.org/oral-language-programs/
The Early Years Kit targets 'day-care' and ECE centres. These kits can be purchased by schools, but it is more commonly purchased by day-care providers.
The integrated nature of this kit includes pre-literacy, motor and oral language.
There are no whole class screen display materials, as daycare operates typically with small group tasks.
The programs come in hard copy only.
However, the kit includes a generous training allocation within the pack. to support upskilling the daycare workforce.
Keep in mind that most of Australia does not have 'kindergarten' as WA does, so the main market for this kit is outside education, and that is how it has a different design.
