Here’s a look inside
Digital Decodable Readers
We know students come with different needs and interests, and so too do our decodable readers. With over 400 fiction, non-fiction, HiLo and science-themed options across all phases, students stay engaged as they master the code.
Fiction and Non-Fiction Texts
Wushka offers over 700 authentic fiction and non-fiction texts to help transition older readers to chapter books, non-fiction and essential text types. Corresponding lesson plans focus on comprehension and vocabulary.
Structured Scope and Sequence
When it comes to phonics, structure is king. Wushka readers introduce sounds systematically, so students can confidently decode every sound before they progress to the next phase. This makes for less guesswork, fewer learning gaps and rock-solid phonemic foundation
Comprehension Tools
All Wushka readers come with a narrated comprehension quiz as standard, and results are captured on your teacher dash.
Teacher Resources
Level-up your lesson with dedicated teacher tools for each reader. Worksheets are a great way to dive deeper into key themes, while wordless printable readers are perfect for exploring texts from different perspectives. Easy-to-implement lesson plans keep your lessons on-track and objective driven.
Reporting and Analytics
Real-time, actionable data helps you keep tabs on student progress and engagement at individual and class level. Clever filters provide insight on what students are reading at home and school, while visual data provides a snapshot of your swimmers and strugglers.

Bring big, blended benefits with MTA
Blended learning takes every type of learner into account, whether they prefer the traditional classroom, online learning or a mixture of both. Blended learning allows students to choose how and when they interact with the material and being able to explore at their own pace means each student gets the practice they need.
MTA makes blended learning easy with physical readers, manipulatives and teacher tools which pair perfectly with Wushka’s digital library.
Handbooks for Explicit Teaching
With dedicated planners for Foundation/Kindergarden, Year 1 and Year 2, these planners provide daily lessons and weekly introductions that can be used with the Wushka libraries or your physical reader collection. Visual examples of supplementary resources are presented alongside daily lessons for quick reference, and provide the framework for a robust phonics program. See more like this.
