What is English Stars?
It’s the first fully digital English teaching and learning
program written especially for Australian classrooms.
Written for the Australian Curriculum
English Stars covers the literacy, literature and language
strands of the Australian Curriculum. Written by
curriculum expert, principal and teacher Lesley Englert,
English Stars content is a game changer.
Videos, texts and slideshows, oh my!
English Stars includes a plethora of resources
that introduce, explain and model important
English concepts.
Cutting-edge digital solutions
Our state-of-the-art tracking feature allows you to
monitor student progress and competency in any
concept, while the automatic marking of activities both
saves you time and assists in student differentiation.
Student activities like no other
Each interactive activity has been designed to provide
the best pedagogical experience possible for any given
concept. Trialled in Australian schools, these activities
are proven to be intuitive and fun!
Everything you didn’t know you needed
Do you remember why ‘the expensive, leather belt’ is
correct, but ‘the leather, expensive belt’ is incorrect?
English Stars has helpful notes that give you a refresher
course on concepts before you teach them to the class.
Assessment and reporting
English Stars’ comprehensive assessment program
includes all the summative tests and projects you need
to confidently assess your class. Individual results are
digitally collated in student portfolios so everything
you need for reporting and analysis is at your fingertips.
Suits every classroom
English Stars is a web-based teaching and learning
program that can be used on any device. Interactive
student activities are perfect for 1:1 classrooms or
classes with shared devices. And if you opt for a
School Licence, there’s also a printable pack for each
activity, giving you the choice to deliver lessons online
or offline.
Ongoing PD and support
As well as built-in support in the form of teaching plans
and concept notes, we offer year-round professional
development and support options for all of our English
Stars teachers.
English Stars is the multi-award winning blended teaching and
learning program.

SOUND WAVESYour whole school approach
to phonemic spelling
9www.soundwavesspelling.com.au
The most effective way to teach spelling
Sound Waves employs a phonemic approach, which is
recognised as one of the most effective ways to teach
spelling and reading skills. So when you use Sound
Waves you are employing the most powerful teaching
pedagogy for literacy development.
More than just spelling
Sound Waves covers key language concepts, including
prefixes, suffixes, Latin and Greek roots, synonyms,
homophones, tense, contractions and much more.
Differentiation and multi-age classrooms –
something for everyone
Sound Waves provides differentiation through graded
List Words and activities, as well as Extension Words
and extra challenges for fast finishers. Additionally, all
year levels share a consistent design and learning order,
making Sound Waves ideal for multi-age classrooms.
Diagnose and remediate with ease
Sound Waves assessment tools do more than gauge
student proficiency. Content Tests give you a snapshot
of students’ phonemic spelling abilities. The Spelling
Diagnostic Test identifies students’ strengths and
weaknesses, and includes targeted remediation
activities for specific spelling concepts.
Written for the Australian Curriculum
Perfectly suited to the improved Australian Curriculum,
Sound Waves is the only Australian whole school
phonemic spelling program from Foundation to Year 6.
A Year 7 program is also available.
Flexibility to suit any classroom
Use the program in the format that best suits you –
books, online resources or a combination of both. Our
resources will bring your phonemic classroom to life.
Integrated online resources
Sound Waves Online is a great teaching and learning
resource that supports the Sound Waves program with
a wealth of projectable, printable and interactive tools.
Ongoing PD and support
With year-round PD sessions and a comprehensive
support structure, we’ll help you make the most of
your Sound Waves program.
Sound Waves is your whole school phonemic approach to spelling,
with a range of workbooks, resources and online materials.
“ Now our experienced and new
teachers have the confidence
and resources they need to teach
spelling as an integral part of our
literacy program. ”

THINK MENTALSTeach mental
computation the
friendly way
Best Primary Student
Resource Mathematics
WINNER
21www.thinkmentals.com.au
Think Mentals is the friendly approach to quick and efficient mental
computation, with Student Workbooks available for Years 1–6.
Teach mental computation the friendly way
Think Mentals teaches your students how to
break maths problems into friendly, manageable
chunks so they can calculate answers fluently
and correctly.
Award winning strategies are the key
Think Mentals systematically teaches students a
range of mental computation strategies to use
when solving addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division problems.
Scaffolded practice
Each strategy is accompanied by plenty of
practice questions to help students increase their
fluency in mental computation. You’ll also find
carefully sequenced sets of revision questions
throughout the book to consolidate learning.
A whole school approach
From early concepts and friendly number facts at
the start of Year 1 to advanced mental
computation in Year 6, each Think Mentals
Student Workbook builds on the strategies and
skills developed in the previous year.
Written for the Australian Curriculum
Written by practising teachers, the structured and
differentiated activities in Think Mentals are drawn
from the content strands – Number and Algebra,
Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics
and Probability.
Engaging problem solving activities
After all the strategies have been covered,
students are rewarded with a weekly Think Box.
These higher-order thinking activities will appeal
to enquiring minds.
Assessment
Assess your students with the weekly test and see
how they’re performing at a glance with the
Student Assessment Profile. Students can also
record their scores and times daily.
Answers made easy
Run through solutions with your class, or have
your students peer mark, using our projectable
answers. Available for all year levels.

foundation for improving

TM

What’s in a week?
Day 1
Time to welcome a new strategy!
First, a friendly explanation and easy-to-follow
examples show students how and when to apply the
new strategy. Then it’s time to practise, with a set of
tightly structured questions to help students develop
familiarity and confidence.
Days 2–4
Practice, practice and more practice!
Each day begins with a set of problems built around
that week’s focus strategy, followed by revision
questions to reinforce previous strategies. Next,
students tackle a variety of question types from across
the ACARA content strands.
Day 5
Finish the week with a test.
Using the same familiar format as days 2–4, the test
combines focus, revision and core content questions to
give a weekly snapshot of student progress.
In later units the strategy section is replaced with a
Think Box – an enjoyable activity that promotes
higher-order thinking.
Each unit in Think Mentals follows a carefully structured 5-day program
of learning, practice, revision and assessment.
