Recommended resources for revision over summer - first year of primary school

I have a DD that started primary school in January, so has missed a bit and needs revision of English skills. Could anyone recommend some good resources we could work through together at home over the summer holidays, particularly for reading, writing, sight words, phonics? I'm secondary school so not sure what would be best.

Any beginning reader sets?
Sight word workbooks?
Phonics stuff?

How far has she got with phonics?

I’m assuming you are not UK. Is she in a school that follows the English curriculum or are there different expectations at the end of the first year of primary?

Oh sorry, yes, we're in Australia. I'm not really sure how the curriculum compares, but she's in her final term now.

She knows all the letters, digraphs. She has learned about 100 sight words (more accurate reading than writing them). Can sound out CVC words and have a rough stab at spelling words she doesn't know phonetically (very rough, this is one of the things we need to practice.)
