Questions

Frequently asked questions

My child is in Class 4. Is phonics not for younger children?

Phonics is usually taught in the early classes. A student in Classes 3 to 5 who missed it can still learn it. The teacher starts from the sounds your child does not know.

How long does it take?

It depends on how many sounds your child already knows. The weekly update tells you what your child can read now that they could not before.

Is it one to one or a group?

Either. Tell us on the contact page and we suggest one after the demo class.

Is there reading to do at home?

Yes, about 10 minutes after every class, with the sheet the teacher sends.
