Trusted by parents to enable their children to read early
and become independent learners
We teach using a combination of Phonemic Awareness and Synthetic Phonics
Scientific research has proven time after time that Phonemic Awareness and Synthetic Phonics are the most effective methods for teaching children of all ages to read. Most schools do not teach this method yet it is proven that it can reduce the curriculum taught over three years to just three academic terms. Phonemic Awareness and Synthetic Phonics support early reading and comprehension in children.
We show your child how to work with the sounds so they can learn how to read in a very short time.
