Phonica is a teaching system for reading, based on the world’s best research. Phonica takes a student back to the absolute basics to make sure he or she has a solid foundation for reading. Then through a series of sixty very carefully designed lessons we:

• build up reading fluency,
• teach the child how to understand what’s being read,
• how to spell accurately and quickly
• teach the basics of English grammar and writing.
• Not only that, it’s the only such system in the world where you can add your own material and even your childrens homework so it fits exactly with what’s going on at school

Phonica is ideal for primary students. Soon we’ll have a version for high school students. Phonica can teach reading from scratch to a beginner with no problems and can teach literacy to an older child who may be struggling a little, say with dyslexia. The fact that we take the child back to basics and that students go at their own pace means that the starting reading level is not important.

Phonica is based on the best international evidence on how to teach reading effectively. It has been developed by experienced educational experts and educational psychologists. In addition, we have done a trial confirming advances in key skills and have several schools using Phonica with excellent results.

As the name implies, phonics is at the heart of the system – but it goes much further than that teaching spelling, sight word recognition, left to right reinforcement, comprehension, basic grammar and other key skills.

All you need is a PC. We have a professional team who will organise full installation and training of your Phonica programs.

Phonica has a unique built-in marking system allowing you to see exactly how well the child is going right down to performance on individual words

Any school giving evidence based reading instruction will find Phonica a great addition. The fact that material such as stories of interest to the child, school spelling lists and other homework can be simply and quickly loaded, gives added assurance that Phonica is closely in step with what your child is learning at school.
