Phonics

Phonics is one of the key building blocks of learning to read. It helps children understand the relationship between letters and the sounds they make, giving them the tools to decode words on the page. For many children — especially those with dyslexia or other literacy difficulties — a strong foundation in phonics can make a real difference. It’s not just about sounding out words; it’s about building confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of reading. In this section, you’ll find information and resources to help you understand how phonics works, why it matters, and how you can support your child at home, even if reading feels like a struggle right now.
