Four distinct levels establish clear learning priorities, building from letter–sound connections toward a wider range of phonics knowledge.
Developing independent readers is the programme’s goal. Phonics practice connects with vocabulary and reading preparation, giving sound knowledge a practical purpose.
Start with Level 1 for the alphabet, or choose vowel, consonant or long-vowel practice according to the knowledge your child already has.
BEGIN WITH THEIR STARTING POINT
Notice which letters and sounds your child already recognises, then choose a starting point in the four-level curriculum. Progress through the sequence or revisit an earlier level to strengthen foundations.
GOOD QUESTIONS
There are four: Level 1 covers the alphabet and letter sounds; Level 2 focuses on vowels; Level 3 on consonants; and Level 4 on long vowels and other common sounds.
The four-level progression, clear priorities at each stage, and connections between phonics, vocabulary and reading preparation form its design. Independent reading is a learning goal; pace should reflect the individual learner’s starting point.
