Kira's Readers

This one is for our Year 3 students learning about habitats! 🌏🐠❄️

If your students struggle to find information and then turn it into their own writing… this resource was made for you.

Our Habitats Information Texts + Research & Writing Booklet takes the guesswork out of learning by giving students clear, child-friendly texts that actually show them how information texts work.

Instead of confusion, students learn to:
✨ Use subheadings to predict what they’ll read
✨ Understand how a title tells us the topic
✨ Identify topic sentences in body paragraphs
✨ Build strong sentences using noun groups

And the best part?
They don’t just read… they apply their learning straight away.

Students:
📖 Read engaging texts on The Arctic Tundra and The Mariana Trench
✏️ Answer scaffolded research questions
📝 Turn their ideas into a structured body paragraph

This resource is perfect for:
✔️ Explicit teaching of information texts
✔️ Science units on habitats
✔️ Bridging reading → writing
✔️ Independent or small group work

If you’ve ever thought “they just don’t know where to start”… this will change that.

💛 Designed by a teacher, for real classrooms
💛 Clear, simple, effective

🌺 ANZAC Day – Helping Children Understand 🌺

Today we remember the bravery, sacrifice, and mateship of the ANZACs.

But how do we help young children understand this in a way that is meaningful and respectful?

✨ The Brave Soldiers of ANZAC Day ✨
is a thoughtfully written and illustrated story that introduces children to ANZAC Day through both the experiences of soldiers and the values they showed.

This book gently explores:
🇦🇺 The journey of the ANZAC soldiers
🤝 How they helped and looked after one another
💛 The courage it took to face difficult times

With emotional watercolour illustrations, children are given a window into the past—while still feeling safe and supported in their understanding.

Perfect for classrooms, families, and meaningful ANZAC Day conversations.

Because ANZAC Day is not just about remembering…
it’s about understanding bravery, sacrifice, and kindness.

Kira's Readers Empowering educators with engaging literacy tools.

Did you know that before children can learn how to read and write, they must first have strong oral language skills?

This is called phonemic awareness, and this resource will explain exactly what you need to do to ensure your child is ready to read and write ✨

If your child is struggling to sound out words, blend sounds, or write simple sentences… it often starts here.

⸻

🗣️ What this resource will help your child do:

✔️ Listen carefully to sounds in words
✔️ Blend sounds together to make words
✔️ Break words into individual sounds (segmenting)
✔️ Clap and hear syllables
✔️ Speak in complete sentences with confidence

⸻

💡 Why this matters:

Oral language is the foundation for reading and writing.
Without it, children can find learning to read much harder.

This resource gives you simple, practical activities you can use at home or in the classroom.
