In the 2026 edition of Oxford’s literacy magazine, A, B, See!, we build on the themes of the third issue and explore the transition that learners make from learning to read to reading to learn, and how the shift from the Foundation Phase to the Intermediate Phase is one of the most significant milestones in a learner’s educational journey.  

🔍 What’s the focus of this edition? 

In this issue, we delve into the importance of vocabulary and oral reading fluency on reading success and the continued development of reading skills. Reading evolves from being a skill that children learn in the Foundation Phase to becoming the primary tool through which they acquire knowledge, build understanding and engage with increasingly complex ideas across the curriculum. Throughout this edition, we explore how educators, parents, and literacy initiatives can support learners during this transition while ensuring that literacy remains inclusive, accessible and meaningful for all. 

In addition to valuable literacy insights, this issue showcases inclusion, language development, digital innovation and practical strategies that help learners become confident, capable readers. 

You’ll find information on: 

• literacy accessibility initiatives that support blind and visually impaired learners, including Braille resources 

• how dictionaries can promote language growth, respectful communication and inclusive learning environments 

• the role vocabulary and fluency play in supporting successful reading comprehension and academic achievement 

• practical tips to support your child in their transition from learning to read to reading to learn 

• how digital reading tools are helping schools develop confident readers, improve comprehension and support literacy development in an AI-enabled world. 

And don’t miss our centre spread! On pages 8 and 9, you will find a fun and engaging literacy activity designed to strengthen English phonics and word-building skills! 

Whether you’re an educator, parent, caregiver, literacy advocate or simply passionate about reading, we hope this edition provides valuable insights, practical strategies and inspiring stories that celebrate the transformative power of literacy. 

We invite you to explore the full digital version of A, B, See! and discover new ideas that support literacy development in your classroom, school, home and community.
