Phonics
N2-K2
At Jan & Elly, our Phonics (Read) programme is meticulously designed to transform your child into a confident, fluent, and enthusiastic reader. We understand that a strong phonics foundation is the cornerstone of literacy, and our proven methodology makes learning to read an engaging and joyful journey for children aged 4-6 (N2-K2). Our comprehensive curriculum progresses through carefully structured levels, ensuring every child masters essential letter sounds, blending, and decoding skills, setting them up for academic excellence and a lifelong love for books.
This foundational level introduces young learners to the exciting world of phonics. Through playful, multi-sensory activities, children will:
Learn to identify and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words, a critical pre-reading skill.
Master the sounds of individual letters and short vowels, building a strong auditory and visual connection.
Begin to blend simple sounds to form CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words like 'cat' and 'can'.
Introduce foundational vocabulary through engaging stories and interactive games.
Foster a positive attitude towards reading in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Our expert teachers utilise a blend of interactive games, songs, and hands-on materials to ensure learning is not only effective but also incredibly fun. Your child will gain the essential tools to confidently embark on their reading journey.
This intermediate level solidifies the foundational phonics skills and introduces more complex concepts, guiding children towards greater reading fluency and independence. Students will delve into:
Mastering common consonant digraphs (e.g., sh, ch, th) and blends (e.g., bl, gr, st) to decode more complex words.

Beginning to apply phonics knowledge to spell simple words, reinforcing the sound-letter correspondence.
Expanding their repertoire of high-frequency sight words, enabling faster and more automatic reading.
Developing early comprehension skills through guided reading of simple sentences and short stories, focusing on identifying main ideas and key details.

Laying a solid groundwork for the more complex phonetic patterns covered in our Phonics Advanced programme
Our engaging curriculum uses interactive games, captivating stories, and structured activities to make learning these new concepts enjoyable and effective. Children will gain confidence in their ability to read a wider range of words and begin to understand the meaning of what they read.
*Students aged 7 and in P1 who need reinforcement in this area are also eligible to join.
This advanced level refines phonics skills, preparing children for independent reading and deeper comprehension. Students will focus on:
Mastering complex vowel combinations (e.g., ou, oy, ea) and diphthongs to decode challenging words.
Understanding how the letter 'r' changes vowel sounds (e.g., ar, or, ir).
Developing strategies to break down and read longer, multi-syllabic words.
Introduction to common prefixes and suffixes to expand vocabulary and aid in decoding.
Engaging with more complex texts, focusing on inferencing, summarizing, and understanding different genres.
Developing prosody, including appropriate pacing, intonation, and emphasis, for fluent and expressive reading.
At this stage, children transition from learning to read to reading to learn. Our programme ensures they are well-equipped with the decoding and comprehension skills necessary to confidently navigate primary school texts and beyond, fostering a genuine and lasting love for reading.
Our phonics programmes start with the fundamentals and gradually build to advanced skills, giving children a strong grasp of consonants, vowels, and how letters combine to form words and sentences. Each level flows seamlessly into the next, ensuring your child is confident and ready for new challenge.
