UFLI Foundations is an explicit, systematic phonics and structured literacy programme designed to support the development of essential reading skills in primary classrooms.
Built around a carefully developed scope and sequence, UFLI Foundations ensures that students are taught each foundational skill in a clear, logical order — with regular opportunities to practise and apply learning until skills become automatic and confident.
The programme can be used as:
- Core phonics instruction in the primary grades, or
- Targeted intervention for struggling readers at any stage.
The UFLI Foundations Manual provides teachers with everything needed to deliver the programme confidently and consistently. Lessons are clearly structured, practical, and easy to follow — making the programme ideal for busy classrooms and whole-school implementation.

- Essential background knowledge to support effective phonics instruction
