An education union says there's more than one way to teach the basics in schools.

The Government's committing $67 million in the Budget to roll-out structured literacy in state schools from 2025.

It uses phonics to decode words - and teaches spelling skills and components like vocabulary, comprehension and writing.

Educational Institute President Mark Potter says such methods are essential, but there are many.

"Good, capable readers like yourself and myself - we use a variety of strategies. Phonics is only one of those strategies we do use."
