Phonics Classes for Ages 7–12 in Saudi Arabia
For children in Saudi Arabia who already know some letter sounds but still guess at unfamiliar words, misspell phonetically, or read more slowly than expected for their age.
An 8-month programme, twice a week, 1 hour per class, in a live batch of only 5–6 children.
Help Your Child Read and Spell With Confidence
By age 7 and beyond, reading is supposed to become automatic — but for a meaningful number of children, it stays effortful. That's usually a sign of a phonics gap that never fully closed in the early years.
Is Your Child Still Struggling With Reading or Spelling?
Reading Unfamiliar Words
Guessing from the first letter or a picture, rather than decoding a longer or unfamiliar word sound by sound.
Improving Spelling Skills
Writing words the way they sound rather than how they're actually spelled.
Applying Phonics to Reading
Knowing individual sounds in isolation, but not yet able to apply that knowledge fluently to real sentences.
Building Reading Confidence
Reading slowly, hesitantly, or reluctantly for their age.
Strengthen Reading and Spelling Skills
- Complex vowel patterns and consonant clusters
- Six syllable types, for decoding longer, multi-syllable words
- Morphology — prefixes, suffixes, and how they change meaning and spelling
- Spelling rules that explain the exceptions, not just the patterns
- Applying decoding skills to real reading fluency, not just isolated words
What Parents Can Expect
Classes are scheduled around your family's routine in Saudi Arabia — the 2.5-hour gap between AST and India time zones makes this straightforward. Your child will need a laptop or tablet with a camera and a quiet space to join from.

Frequently Asked Questions
My child knows their letter sounds — why would they still need phonics classes? +
Knowing individual letter sounds and fluently decoding unfamiliar, multi-syllable words are different skills. Many children who "know phonics" from early years still guess at longer words rather than sounding them out — that's the gap this programme closes.
What are the signs my child might have a phonics gap? +
Guessing words from the first letter or a picture, mixing up similar-looking words, reading slowly and effortfully for their age, and spelling phonetically.
Is this the same content as the Ages 4–6 programme? +
No. This programme covers advanced phonics — complex vowel patterns, six syllable types, morphology, and spelling rules — building on foundational sounds rather than repeating them.
How long is each class, and how often? +
Each class is 1 hour, held twice a week, as part of an 8-month programme.
Will this work alongside my child's regular schoolwork? +
Yes — classes run outside school hours and strengthen the reading and spelling skills your child's schoolwork already assumes, whatever curriculum they follow.
