Is Your Child Just Starting to Learn Reading?

Mother helping her daughter with early reading, showing four common signs a child is just starting to learn reading: recognising letters but not sounds, difficulty blending sounds into words, needing help sounding out simple words, and frustration during reading practice

You may notice your child:

Recognises letters but isn't confident with their sounds
Finds it difficult to blend sounds into words
Needs help sounding out simple words
Gets frustrated during reading practice

The right support at the right stage can make learning feel more structured and encouraging.

Why Only 5–6 Children Per Batch?

Your Child Shouldn't Get Lost in the Crowd

We intentionally keep our batches to just 5–6 children so teachers can give learners more individual attention and guidance during live lessons.

01

More Teacher Attention

More opportunity for the teacher to notice and respond to each child's learning needs.

02

More Participation

Children have more opportunities to answer, practise and interact.

03

Individual Guidance

Teachers can provide support when a child needs additional help.

04

Focused Learning

A smaller learning environment can make online lessons feel more focused and manageable for young learners.

The Transformation

From Uncertain Sounds to “I Can Sound It Out”

“I don't know how to read this word.”

Sounds → Letter-Sound Connections → Blending → Segmenting → Tricky Words

“I know how to sound it out.”

Every child learns at their own pace — structured phonics teaching is designed to help build these skills over time, not guarantee a fixed timeline.

Our Method

Multi-Sensory Synthetic Phonics

Children learn phonics through a structured approach that connects sounds, letters, actions and practice — over an 8-month programme, twice a week, 1 hour per class. New to the method? See what Jolly Phonics is and how it works.

What It Is
Jolly Phonics

A multi-sensory, systematic synthetic phonics method developed in the UK by teachers Sue Lloyd and Sara Wernham.

Sound-First

It teaches the actual sound each letter makes (/b/), not the letter name (“bee”).

How Your Child Experiences It
Stories, Songs, Actions

Each of the 42 letter sounds is introduced through a story and a song, alongside pre-writing and writing practice for letter formation.

Small-Batch Live Class

Your child practises alongside just 5–6 other children, guided live by the teacher.

Why It Matters
Supports Sound Recognition

Multiple senses working together can help young children remember sounds more easily.

Builds Toward Reading & Spelling

The same sounds are used for blending (reading) and segmenting (spelling).

What Children Learn

What Your Child Learns — and Why It Matters

The full Phase 1 curriculum your child works through over the programme:

Six-step infographic showing what your child learns in phonics and why it matters: letter sounds, listening and blending, combining sounds into words, reading, spelling, and tracking progress
Letter Sounds & Vowels/Consonants
What Your Child Learns

All 42 English letter sounds through stories and songs, plus the concept of vowels and consonants.

Why It Matters

Hearing and naming sounds confidently is the foundation for connecting sounds to letters — the first step before reading any word.

Phonemic & Phonological Awareness
What Your Child Learns

Structured activities that build your child's ability to hear and play with individual sounds in words.

Why It Matters

This listening skill underpins blending and segmenting — without it, sounding out words is much harder.

Blending & Segmenting
What Your Child Learns

Blending sounds together to read words, and segmenting words into sounds to spell them — /c/, /a/, /t/ → cat.

Why It Matters Now & Later

This is often exactly where children get stuck — knowing the sounds but not yet joining them into words. Practising blending now can help your child move from “I know the sounds” to “I can read the word,” and the same skill becomes the foundation for reading longer, more complex words later.

Sight Words & Decodable Reading
What Your Child Learns

Identifying common sight words, and reading simple decodable books, phrases and sentences.

Why It Matters

Applying phonics to real books — not just sounds in isolation — helps build genuine reading confidence.

Dictation, Spelling & Word Families
What Your Child Learns

Dictation and spelling rules, alternative vowel sounds, and rhyming word families.

Why It Matters

This strengthens spelling accuracy and prepares your child for more complex spelling patterns in later years.

Comprehension, Vocabulary & Speech
What Your Child Learns

Story listening and narration, vocabulary building, and reading/listening comprehension exercises.

Why It Matters

Reading is only useful once a child understands what they've read — this builds that understanding alongside decoding skill.

OUR MAIN FOCUS · NOT OFFERED ELSEWHERE

Applying Rules to Real Reading

Most phonics programmes stop at teaching the rules. We go further.

What Your Child Learns

Knowing phonics rules on their own isn't enough — so once the rules are learned, your child gets plenty of guided practice actually reading with them: short sentences, short stories, and even newspaper headlines.

Why It Matters

This combined practice is what turns rule knowledge into real reading ability — your child learns to read by actually reading, not just reciting sounds.

Addressing a Common Question

Can a 4–6 Year Old Really Learn Phonics Online?

Illustration addressing the common question of whether a 4 to 6 year old can really learn phonics online, showing a child's journey from seeing letters through hearing sounds, blending words, and reading a storybook confidently

It's a fair question. Here's what actually makes small-batch live classes work for young learners:
