Looking for experienced Phonics tuition teachers?

Phonics is a key component of learning how to read. The Phonics tutors will help the child understand the relationship between letters and sounds, so that they learn how to read new words on their own. Children will learn to verbalise the letters in a structured Phonics program.

Who benefits from Phonics classes?

  1. Nursery and Kindergarten (ages 3–5): At this age, children are starting to recognise letters and sounds. Introducing fun and engaging phonics lessons before formal reading begins help them acquire the necessary skills early, and cultivate a love for reading.
  2. Kindergarten & Lower Primary children (ages 5–7): Learning to read and write. Phonics helps them decode new words, improve spelling, and gain reading confidence.Essential for building strong reading foundations.
  3. Struggling readers (any age): Older children or even adults who haven’t mastered reading basics may find phonics useful, to help fill gaps in phonemic awareness and decoding skills.
  4. Children learning English as a Second Language: Children learning English at a later age as a second or third language benefit from a structured approach in understanding English sound-letter patterns. Improves pronunciation, reading fluency, and comprehension.
  5. Students with Learning Difficulties (e.g., Dyslexia>: Benefit from structured, systematic phonics to support reading and spelling challenges.

What Phonics programs do you cover?

The most popular ones our tutors cover are Letterland, Jolly Phonics, Montessori.
While these programs differ in approach, materials and teaching style, these programs are all designed for young children, and progressively teach children to recognise and manipulate sounds in words. With songs, stories to keep learning engaging, the tutors seek to make learning fun.

Learning Phonics - Why?

Phonics is widely successful in teaching reading skills to children. Breaking up the words and teaching the sounds and consonants separately allows students to improve in their pronunciation and word recognition

In fact, MOE also teaches Phonics in its Learning Support Programmes in schools. These programmes are early intervention schemes that supports students identified as have weak reading and/or speech skills.
