Laying Solid Foundations for Reading in Cornwall
A strong grasp of Phonics means more than just passing a screening check; it’s about unlocking the entire world of reading. When children understand how sounds and letters work together, they gain independence and confidence. Imagine your child confidently tackling new words in a storybook, or being able to read instructions for a creative project at school in Truro. This foundational skill isn't just for early years; it builds the base for all future learning, helping them access the curriculum and thrive well beyond primary school.

Sara C
Sara has been fantastic with my 5-year-old. I initially shared my concerns about Dawud’s reading and maths, and she reassured me that with the right support, he would improve and be ready for the phonics screening. I noticed a significant boost in his confidence and reading ability even after the first session. Highly recommended — she is both skilled and very kind.

We’re very happy to have Teacher Emma as our son’s Phonics teacher. She is very encouraging and patient, which makes a big difference. As we’ve just moved to the UK and English is not our first language, we truly appreciate how smoothly our son is able to learn with her.

Emma has been teaching my son (aged 6) and daughter (aged 3) over the last two months. Emma has been fantastic at maintaining their attention given their age and also making the lessons fun and engaging. Our children have already made exceptional progress given the short time she has spent with them! Thank you so much Emma :)
