Victoria plans to adopt a new teaching model with explicit phonics from 2025 due to 25% of students needing reading support.
Victoria will implement a new teaching and learning model with explicit teaching at its core from 2025, focusing on systematic synthetic phonics in grades Prep to 2 with a daily minimum of 25 minutes of explicit phonics and phonemic awareness teaching. This follows recent NAPLAN results showing 25% of Victorian students needing additional reading support. South Australia introduced its Literacy Guarantee in 2018, whilst New South Wales mandated year 1 phonics screening.
