The Honey Ant Readers embrace features of Aboriginal English (AE) so that students are able to learn to read in the language they speak in the playground. The language of the HARs gradually moves into Standard Australian English according to the natural order in which speakers of other languages are believed to acquire the grammatical structures of Standard English. There is a strong focus on phonics and sounds are chosen for their familiarity to speakers of AE.
