Victorian schools to adopt phonics for early reading by 2027, with $5M in new resources.

Victorian primary schools will adopt a phonics-based reading method for students from prep to grade 2 by 2027, following a deal between the state government and teachers' union. This agreement resolves last year's conflict over the implementation without consultation. The government will provide an additional $5 million for resources such as whiteboards, letter tiles, and texts to support the transition to the new teaching method.
