Jolly Phonics
This website gives guidance on steps to teach the key components of early literacy including teaching letter sounds, letter formations, blending sounds, identifying sounds in words, and reading tricky words. The site also contains free worksheets. Early literacy concepts are taught with English materials, but practitioners have used them as guides for developing similar materials in the mother-tongue.

5 Big Ideas of Literacy
This website provides information on the five “big ideas” in teaching beginning reading: phonemic awareness, alphabetic principle, accuracy and fluency with text, vocabulary, and comprehension. These concepts are explained with examples and instructional tips in English, but can be applied to other languages when practitioners are developing mother-tongue instructional materials.
