Phonics Classes for Ages 4–6
For children beginning their reading journey, our Ages 4–6 programme introduces phonics through sounds, actions, stories, blending, early reading and spelling activities.
The goal is to help children develop a strong foundation for connecting sounds with letters and using those sounds when reading and writing.
Explore Phonics Classes for Ages 4–6 →Advanced Phonics Classes for Ages 7–12
Some older children know many letter sounds but still find reading or spelling difficult. They may need more structured practice with decoding, blending, spelling patterns and applying phonics to real words.
Our advanced phonics programme focuses on strengthening these underlying skills and helping children become more confident readers and spellers.
Explore Phonics Classes for Ages 7–12 →What Do Children Learn in Phonics Classes?
Phonics is more than learning the alphabet. Children need to understand how sounds connect with letters and how those relationships can be used when reading and spelling.
Letter Sounds
Children learn to recognise and use letter sounds as a foundation for reading and spelling.
Blending
Children practise combining individual sounds to read words. Example: /c/ + /a/ + /t/ → cat.
Segmenting
Children learn to break words into individual sounds to support spelling and writing.
Tricky Words
Children are introduced to common words that require additional practice because they don't follow straightforward phonics patterns.
Reading
Phonics skills are applied to words, phrases, sentences and age-appropriate reading material.
Spelling
Children practise using sounds and spelling patterns when writing words.
Comprehension & Vocabulary
Decoding words is only part of becoming a reader — children also build vocabulary, listening skills and understanding.
Phonics Learning That Uses More Than One Sense
Young children often learn more effectively when they can hear, see and actively practise what they're learning. Our phonics lessons use a combination of sound, visual prompts, actions, speaking, reading and writing activities — giving children multiple ways to engage with new sounds and practise applying them.
Listening carefully to each individual sound
Seeing the letter or letters that represent the sound
Saying the sound aloud to build phonemic awareness
Using an action or gesture to make the sound memorable
Combining sounds together to read whole words
Applying the sound within real words and sentences
Practising spelling and writing using the sound learned
Why Small-Batch Phonics Classes Matter
In a large online class, some children may have fewer opportunities to speak, answer questions or practise with the teacher. Smaller groups create more opportunities for participation and individual guidance during the lesson.
