Aussie Readers is a structured English program for Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2, developed by a qualified Australian teacher with over 20 years of teaching experience. As a homeschool parent who homeschooled my youngest son for several years and has tutored many homeschooled children over the past five years, I understand the joys and challenges of teaching your own child at home.

With explicit teaching videos, carefully sequenced phonics, decodable readers and comprehensive workbooks covering grammar, handwriting, comprehension and vocabulary, you have the resources and guidance to teach English at home.

Real progress. Real encouragement.

Course Structure

The Kindergarten (also known as Foundation, Prep or Reception), Year 1 and Year 2 courses are divided into four terms, each with 10 weeks of explicit instruction, lessons and activities. The final week of each term focuses on revision and progress-monitoring assessments.

Each week includes four explicit teaching lessons, a storybook and comprehension lesson, and workbook activities aligned with each lesson’s learning intention. Regular revision helps children consolidate their learning.

  • Hi Kassi, I just wanted to message this morning and say thank you for this program. It is so fantastic! Mr E has gone from not reading or writing, to being able to read chapter books by himself!! He enjoys reading and writing and his confidence has increased dramatically! Mr D is also doing well, still getting used to learning but I honestly couldn't have taught him how to read without Aussie Readers. I was contemplating sending them back to school if I wasn't able to get them to read this year. So, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I will be purchasing year one for sure !!!

  • "I again have to say how impressed with the program I am! I think before people launch into other popular programs, it would be much more beneficial to do Aussie Readers. My child already repeats the information in the lessons throughout the day. It's a great opportunity for us to reinforce information and see what he's learning."

  • My 6yr old daughter and I just wanted to send a quick message to say thank you for creating your program. We love it and really appreciate the effort you've put into it. We started home schooling this year and although she's 6 and would have been going into Prep, we're working through the Kindy program, and it has been a breeze and actually a pleasure to do. We'll continue to use it in the future for our 4 & 2yr olds. We've recommended your program to many friends.

  • Hi! I absolutely love your program & I tell everyone I know about it! Thank you so much for creating it. I can't imagine how much time and effort you have spent on it. My daughter is only in Kindergarten now but I really hope we will get to continue learning with your programs. I just wanted to tell you I'm really hoping year 2 and beyond are created. Thanks again!

  • Aussie Readers has been one of the most effective and beautifully structured literacy resources we’ve used. The lessons are clear, engaging, and thoughtfully designed for young learners. My child always felt confident, supported, and excited to read — and the steady progression made it easy to see real growth. The balance of phonics, fluency and comprehension has been outstanding. What I especially appreciated was how doable the daily work felt. It never overwhelmed my child, yet it consistently built strong skills. The program truly respects the pace of early learners and empowers parents to teach with confidence. Thanks to Aussie Readers, my child has developed not only solid reading foundations, but also a genuine love of reading — and that is priceless. Thank you for creating such a high-quality, thoughtful resource for homeschooling families. It has made a tremendous difference for us and I’m so grateful we found you.
