Implementing the new characters in your school or district should be planned and thought out carefully. It's important that both teachers and students have the correct materials before you decide to transition to the new characters.
We currently only recommend only using the new characters with curriculum materials that are marked "2nd edition". In the first year, start out with our new Kindergarten 2nd Edition curriculum. For the second year, add on Grade One (2nd Edition) and Intervention 1 (2nd Edition). In the third year, add on Grade Two (2nd Edition).

* For Pre-K and Intervention it is possible to use the new characters with existing classic materials.
We recommend waiting until school year 2024-25 when the 2nd edition curriculum (featuring new characters) will be available.
However, if you simply can't wait it is possible to start sooner using your classic Pre-K materials, free downloads and Phonics Online. If you decide to do this, please note:
Existing classic Pre-K materials plus:
We recommend using the new characters only with our new Kindergarten 2nd Edition curriculum.
If you have our Kindergarten 1st Edition curriculum you can continue to use the classic characters.
We recommend waiting until school year 2024-25 when the 2nd edition curriculum (featuring new characters) will be available.

You can continue to use your existing materials as the focus has moved away from the Letterland characters.
We recommend waiting until school year 2024-25 when the 2nd edition curriculum (featuring new characters) will be available.
However, there are some scenarios where it makes sense to start sooner. For example, if your school or district is using our new Kindergarten 2nd Edition curriculum (featuring new characters), students needing Tier 3 pull-out sessions will need to be taught using the new characters. You can do this by using your classic Intervention materials, free downloads and Phonics Online.
Existing classic Intervention 1 materials plus:
Phonics Online - you can access the new characters by updating your character preference. This will mean that you have access to new character animations in Meet the Letterlanders, Cards Tool (for Quick Dash, Guess Who and Word Building), Phonics Readers and Phonics Games.
