Abstract
This national study investigated 254 Australian teachers’ reported practices and perspectives regarding the use of both decontextualised synthetic phonics instruction and contextualised analytic phonics instruction in Foundation – Year 3 classrooms. The study used a mixed-methods, quan-QUAL approach with data collected via a quantitative survey of 254 teachers followed by semi-structured interviews of 10 participants who completed the survey. The study also explored influences on teachers’ practices and perspectives, including enablers and barriers to implementing effective reading instruction. This study provides rich insights into the current reality of code-based reading instruction in early primary classrooms in Australia, as reported by teachers, and identifies implications for practice and research in this field. , p, r, analytic phonics, synthetic phonics, contextualised instruction, decontextualised instruction, decodable text, non-decodable text, authentic children’s literature
