Behind classroom doors, Australian teachers are facing a silent struggle – juggling growing responsibilities and ever-increasing educational demands. How to deliver literacy and numeracy instruction that’s effective while managing limited time and shrinking resources?
Curriculum changes, such as the introduction of the Australian Curriculum, Version 9.0, the new NSW Syllabus, and the recent Victorian mandate requiring 25 minutes of daily phonics, are adding to the pressure for teachers who are already stretched thin.
The daily reality in Australian classrooms
The bigger picture reveals even more obstacles. Each day brings a maze of logins and passwords, as multiple platforms compete for teachers’ attention. Student data is fragmented across different systems, making it harder to track progress, identify learning gaps, and, ultimately, close them. Meanwhile, limited time for personalised instruction and mounting pressure to demonstrate measurable outcomes add to the strain.
As teachers navigate growing demands, many are looking for ways to streamline resources and simplify their approach. One solution gaining attention is 3 Essentials – an integrated platform that brings together reading, writing and maths programs to support whole-school learning.
By combining these core subjects into one seamless ecosystem, schools can reduce complexity while ensuring students receive consistent, high-quality instruction.
What schools need for effective teaching
To deliver high-quality literacy and numeracy instruction while managing growing demands, schools need the right support in place:
✅ Proven effectiveness: Robust, research-backed programs that drive consistent, measurable progress across the entire school.
✅ Full curriculum alignment: Across Australia, every reading, writing or maths lesson should be mapped to the most up-to-date version of the state curriculum/syllabus.
✅ Explicit instruction: Systematic, research-based teaching methods proven to drive long-term retention of essential skills.
✅ Differentiated learning: Personalised paths that adapt to each student’s needs across reading, writing and maths.
✅ Robust tracking tools: Detailed insights into student progress in all core subjects from a single platform.
✅ Interactive activities: Captivating, curriculum-aligned exercises that make learning fun and effective.
✅ Motivating rewards: Exciting incentives that spark engagement, fuel learning and drive achievement.
3 Essentials brings these critical elements under one roof, making it easier for schools to drive student growth across all core subjects – from reading and writing to maths – with just 30 minutes of usage per week.

From multiple logins to one: Simplify access and save time
How many logins does it take to teach a student?
The modern classroom is bursting with digital tools. But with every new program comes another login, another password, another platform to manage. It’s a system designed to help, yet it’s slowing schools down.
Beside the proven impact on student outcomes, the power of 3 Essentials lies in integrating ABC Reading Eggs, Writing Legends, ABC Mathseeds and Mathletics into one seamless platform.
For schools, this means saying goodbye to juggling multiple logins. No more lost passwords or switching between programs to cover the essentials. One login is your gateway to whole-school growth in the three critical skills.
Save time, gain more control and manage all class information, assignments and reports from one place.
