Phonics

More than 10 years experience

I am a unique and enthusiastic Phonics Tutor. I can help your child read at age 4. Yes, the whole essence of the Phonics programme is to help children read as early as possible. I am not just a Phobics teacher but a Jolly Phonics teacher.

Jolly Phonics is the only Phonics programme that accounts for all the 40+ letter sounds in English. Jolly Phonics is so systematic and simplified. It takes the following forms: CVC words (consonant+vowel+consonant), Digraphs, Initial consonant blends: st, cl, fl, tr, etc
Final consonant blends (consonant clusters at the end of a word): last, sand, etc. Then we have the tricky words also called sight words. (Words that cannot be spelt through sound). Thus, a child is able to read complex words if introduced to all of the above.

I teach my kids all these letter sounds. I teach them to look at the word, blend the letter sounds and call the word. Example, s-u-n = sun, s-ea-t = seat. Thus, at age 4 plus my kids are able to read. I have taught nursery 2 children and they were able to read and write simple sentences before graduating to the primary one. I tutored a kid who at age 5 could not read even three letter words. Within 3 months of introducing Jolly Phonics, she could read.

My teaching method is structured and flexible. I make my lessons engaging and interactive. I teach my kids the actions, the storyline and the songs, thus, they are more likely to remember what they are taught. I also use a Synthetic Phonics approach, which is a method of teaching Jolly Phonics.

Jolly Phonics provides a lot of activities in the form of workbooks and worksheets such that it is impossible for a normal child to pass through it and not be able to read. Phonics also works for adults who did not have the opportunity to go to school but want to learn how to read and write.
