What are Oxford Reading Levels?
Strong reading skills are key to students’ overall success at school and beyond Oxford Reading Levels support all students to progress at every stage of their reading journey .
Oxford Reading Levels is an expertly developed and well-established system for levelling our texts and provides the foundation for our reading schemes Learning to read means mastering a variety of different skills and allowing students to progress in small steps, at their own pace That’s why Oxford Reading Levels offer a detailed, finely graded progression –taking students from their very first steps in reading, all the way up to becoming skilful, independent readers .
Talk to your Education Consultant and have your Oxford Reading Levels questions answered or book an appointment at your school.
How are Oxford Reading Levels different to other systems?
The Oxford Reading Levels system has been created over decades by experts, our authors and reviewers . We have looked at the ‘science’ of books, including word levels and sentence characteristics, and the ‘art’ of books, including subject matter and visual elements
We have analysed over 2,000 books, 400,000 sentences and over 4,000,000 words to inform the careful levelling of our reading books .
We develop our books with Oxford Reading Levels at their heart, making them truly effective in supporting students’ progress
Oxford Reading Levels and Phonics
Oxford Reading Levels have been used to develop both our newest phonics series as well as many of our well-loved ones
All of Oxford’s decodable series (excluding Read Write Inc.) follow a structured phonic
progression aligned to the Letters and Sounds phonic sequence Oxford Reading Levels follow this sequence too, letting you know exactly when new letters and sounds will be introduced in our decodable books .
Oxford Reading Levels and Comprehension
Oxford Reading Levels are the foundation of Oxford’s comprehension resources, which offer a finely graded sequence that supports students’ understanding of texts
As they progress through the levels, students are gradually introduced to more complex
vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, spelling, layout and themes, enabling them to develop, practice and consolidate their comprehension skills Each level offers new language, new themes, and a chance to consolidate comprehension skills
Supporting reading progress in all students
Oxford Reading Levels in the classroom
Oxford offers a wide variety of texts using the Oxford Reading Levels criteria to help you build breadth of choice and engagement in your classroom
* The General Comparison Level Guide specified here provides an approximate guideline for Australian schools but is not prescriptive. Please note that the mapping of Oxford Reading Levels to other levelling systems are our estimates only and may not match other publishers’ correlations.
Comprehension Skills Framework
Developed by leading experts, the Comprehension Skills Framework below underpins our Oxford Reading for Comprehension Discover series (see pages 40–43), Oxford Reading for Comprehension Decodables series, (see pages 44–45), and our Oxford Reading for Comprehension series (see pages 62–70)
The framework supports the development and practice of key interactive comprehension strategies and the ongoing independent application of comprehension skills . The comprehension strategies outlined in the framework are the actions readers do in the moment of reading to help build meaning; the comprehension skills are practised after reading
Finding information
Retrieving literal information from the text or pictures about characters, settings and overtly expressed feelings.
Making connections and inferences
Reading between the lines of the text, finding clues and building meaning from information that isn’t explicitly stated in the text.
Understanding vocabulary
Identifying the meaning of words and phrases.
Using structure and organisation
Making sense of a text by understanding the message, ordering events and identifying main ideas, drawing on knowledge of text conventions, forms and features.
Appreciating the author’s toolkit
Understanding how the author uses language and punctuation to create effect, being aware of the author’s intent and expressing evaluative opinions on a text.

Read Write Inc Comprehension
NEW
Read Write Inc. Phonics
Transforming reading progress for every student in every school for Years F–4 145
Reading and writing right from the start
Read Write Inc. Phonics provides a systematic and consistent approach to transforming your teaching of reading and writing.
It develops students’ reading, writing, spoken language, vocabulary, grammar and spelling in a fully integrated way, to raise literacy standards and spark a lifelong love of reading.
Features:
y Integrated comprehension, writing, grammar, spelling, vocabulary and handwriting means that Read Write Inc. is more than just a phonics program and helps develop key literacy skills for every student.
1. Assessment
Students are assessed and grouped according to their phonic knowledge. Each student is then taught at the level of their phonic knowledge to ensure quick progress.
5. Levelled progression
Ongoing assessment means that any struggling students are picked up the moment they fall behind and if necessary given intensive one-to-one tutoring to catch up fast. Groups are adjusted regularly so all students make the best progress.
y Includes a large range of matched decodable Storybooks and Book Bag Books, for both fiction and non-fiction, to increase reading fluency.
y Other resources include flashcards, posters, word cards, Handbooks, online teaching resources and eBooks to ensure you have everything you need to teach effectively.
Read Write Inc. Training
Accredited Ruth Miskin Training for Read Write Inc. is available to support your staff with the full implementation of the program. The training is matched to the needs and requirements of your school and is delivered by an outstanding trainer who will show you how to teach effectively and confidently using Read Write Inc. Phonics
lively, fully decodable storybooks and 35 non-fiction titles
2. Teaching sounds
The 44 sounds and corresponding letters are introduced and taught systematically.
4. Developing reading and writing
Students read a series of levelled decodable texts, both fiction and non-fiction, and complete integrated writing activities including spelling, grammar, vocabulary and handwriting practice.
Take home reading
3. Teaching words
Students learn to blend sounds to read words. Then they use short ‘ditties’ to practice early reading and writing before being taught more letter-sound correspondences.
For extra practice at home, teachers can send home the black and white versions of the Storybooks and full-colour fic tion Book Bag Books, to reinforce students’ classroom learning. This ensures the books sent home are matched to the phonics students are practising in class.
This program has had the greatest impact on learning that I have ever seen.
– Assistant Principal, Mernda Primary School, Victoria

What is Letters and Sounds ?
Letters and Sounds is a systematic approach for teaching students to read using phonics. It is split into six phases, from starting to learn about sounds to becoming fluent readers. The phonic approach encourages teachers to directly link letters (graphemes) to sounds (phonemes), and to teach students pure sounds when encountering the alphabet. Students learn how to put sounds represented by letters or letter groups, like ‘ch’ or ‘igh’, together to read words in a more straightforward way. The relationship between the letter(s) and the sound is called a letter–sound correspondence, also known as a grapheme–phoneme correspondence (or GPC).

Decodable Oxford Wordlist aligned to Letters and Sounds
Support the learning of important high-frequency words
What is the Oxford Wordlist?
In 2007, Oxford University Press conducted an investigation of high-frequency words in young children’s writing and reading development in Australian schools. The Oxford Wordlist is a product of this research. In 2017 Oxford University Press conducted the same research and produced a revised list. The Oxford Wordlist includes the 500 most frequently used words by children in their first three years of school and is the most used wordlist in Australian Primary schools.
The Oxford Wordlist aligned to Letters and Sounds
The latest Oxford Wordlist has been aligned to the Letters and Sounds progression, supporting the teaching and learning of important high-frequency words.
This aligned list can be used in the classroom to introduce the Oxford Wordlist words at the point where they become decodable. It is a helpful tool to introduce high-frequency words to students as they master the phonic knowledge necessary to decode them.
