Description

Our Phonics course is meticulously arranged over three progressive levels. At each, we develop a number of key skills that form the foundation for fluent reading and accurate spelling. Our Phonics classes incorporate a number of different tasks and activities to ensure that all our learning outcomes are met. After teaching the content, we focus most of the class on reading and dictation. Sufficient time is also provided for listening and writing activities. Every class includes time for reviewing, a related song and a fun game to reinforce what our students have learned.
