Indij Readers. For Little Fullas. For Big Fullas.

May 2003

"The 11 books published so far are a treasure trove.  Their publication is
an occasion with the potential to turn around the lives of many readers."

Her Excellency Marie Bashir AC, Governor of New South Wales

Indij Readers are a series of culturally appropriate, contemporary Indigenous classroom readers to help address the serious gap that exists between Indigenous and non-Indigenous literacy levels.

The readers are significant because the stories have been gathered using extensive consultations with Indigenous Elders and communities. The back of each book features the author and illustrator, further empowering Indigenous children to meet literacy and general education challenges. Plus, Indij Readers come with a Teachers Guide that contains many methods for addressing literacy building upon the Indigenous focus.

The results
The need for culturally appropriate text is strong - but there is little available. The Dymocks Literacy Foundation is proud to promote the distribution of the Indij Readers and Teachers Guide.  Learn more...
