Bloom NZ Literacy
Learning Stages
At Bloom, we follow the NZ Ready to Read Phonics Plus scope and sequence, a Ministry of Education resource used in schools across New Zealand.
This ensures your child’s tutoring aligns with what’s taught in classrooms — giving seamless support in reading, writing, and spelling.
