The Fitzroy Readers use a systematic phonic approach to literacy.

The Fitzroy Program is a complete F-6 literacy resource. Nine sets of ten carefully graded readers form the core of the program.
Word Skills workbooks support the phonics principles introduced in the readers, as well as providing punctuation, grammar, comprehension and creative writing exercises.
