As a parent, you understand the critical importance of giving your child the best possible start in their educational journey. The Phonics Readiness Programme at Jan & Elly English Language School is precisely designed for young learners, typically in N2-K1, who are just beginning to explore the world of letters and sounds. This foundational programme is where the magic of reading truly begins, setting a strong, joyful, and effective pathway to literacy.
Many parents wonder when and how to introduce their child to reading. Our Phonics Readiness programme provides a structured, engaging, and age-appropriate introduction that builds confidence from day one. We focus on the very first steps of literacy, ensuring your child develops a solid understanding before moving to more complex concepts. This programme is crucial for:
Developing essential auditory and visual discrimination skills necessary for reading.
Making the initial encounter with letters and sounds a fun and positive experience.
Creating a robust foundation that makes the transition to more advanced phonics programmes seamless and successful.

Our curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to introduce fundamental phonics concepts in an interactive and playful manner:
Children will learn to recognise and differentiate individual sounds in spoken words. This crucial phonological awareness is the bedrock of reading, helping them hear the distinct sounds that make up words.
We systematically introduce each letter of the alphabet and its corresponding sound. Through engaging activities, songs, and games, children will confidently connect letters like T, S and E, to their phonetic values. This mastery of the alphabet code is fundamental to decoding.

Your child will take their exciting first steps into blending sounds to form simple three-letter words. We introduce basic CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) word families such as ‘-at’ (e.g., cat, hat, mat) and ‘-an’ (e.g., fan, man, can), allowing them to experience the joy of reading their very first words.

Alongside reading, we incorporate activities that strengthen fine motor skills, preparing their hands and fingers for future writing tasks. This includes tracing, drawing, colouring and pre-writing exercises.

Our lessons are filled with multi-sensory activities, stories, and games that make learning phonics an enjoyable adventure. We believe that when learning is fun, children are more engaged and retain information more effectively.
