Why Phonics is the Foundation for Your Child's Future Learning
Phonics is much more than just learning letter sounds; it's the key that unlocks the entire world of reading. When your child masters phonics, they gain the ability to decode new words on their own, which builds incredible confidence. This single skill is the bedrock of their education, impacting their understanding in English, History, and even Science. A strong start here ensures they can keep up and feel capable in every subject as they progress through school.

Personalised Phonics learning experiences
All learning begins with an idea, notion or question… Do trees communicate? How do planets stay up in space? What is monster language? I currently teach children through the Reggio Emilia Inspired Approach embedded in Projects where children’s ideas, thoughts and opinions are listened to, upheld and taken into account to help co-create the learning. This creates purposeful ‘in the moment’ learning opportunities. This approach to learning can be intertwined with any area of the curriculum and is a fun and engaging way to learn. Arts, science, humanities, reading, number play… what is your interest?...

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.

Emma has been fantastic at maintaining their attention given their age and also making the lessons fun and engaging.
