Phonics is a method of teaching reading that focuses on the relationship between letters and their corresponding sounds. It is important for your child’s literacy development because it helps them understand how letters and sounds work together, allowing them to decode words and read independently. Phonics is a crucial foundation for reading fluency, comprehension, and writing skills.

While phonics programs can be beneficial for children as young as 3 years old, we highly recommend in-person classes for kids of this age group. Many programs offer age-appropriate activities and games that introduce letter recognition and letter sounds to preschoolers. However, the optimal age to start may vary for each child, and it’s best to assess your child’s readiness based on their individual developmental milestones and interests.

We use various methods such as informal observations, formative assessments, and periodic evaluations to assess your child’s progress. These assessments measure your child’s letter recognition, sound blending, reading accuracy, and comprehension skills. Regular feedback and progress reports will also be provided by our teachers to keep you informed about your child’s achievements and areas for improvement.

Yes, our program can still be beneficial for children who are already reading at their grade level. Phonics instruction can reinforce and strengthen their reading skills, improve their decoding and fluency abilities, and enhance their comprehension and writing skills. In addition, our program offers more advanced levels for older children to further expand their phonics knowledge and reading proficiency.
