Alpha-Phonics is a comprehensive reading instruction programme designed to empower beginners of all ages. This programme aims to provide tutors, parents, and teachers with an easy-to-use tool to teach reading.

With carefully drafted exercises and lessons, readers will develop strong reading skills to tackle words and sentences easily. Alpha-Phonics aims to play a fundamental role in language development with effective teaching methods.

It aims to revolutionise homeschooling and the overall education setup by introducing more than 3,500 words in its simple 128 lessons. It offers tried and tested solutions for learners learning to read or trying to improve their grip over spelling.

It also works very well for older, even grown adults, students who need remediation. It is highly endorsed by leading homeschooling product reviewers Cathy Duffy and Mary Pride.

Simplicity is something that makes Alpha-Phonics work so well.

The foundation of Alpha-Phonics lies in simplifying lessons, as the beginner can start reading simple sentences by lesson three. Sometimes, it can happen as early as the first day.

Result? You can sense the reading success on the very first day.

Other programmes often end up making things a little more complicated. They inject grammar, pictures, and other material that can make it hard for a learner to grasp the true essence of the lessons. With Alpha-Phonics, you teach only reading.

Out of many elements that make Alpha-Phonics stand out is a BONUS in that you easily teach spelling as you go, lesson by lesson. Parents and tutors can spend a few minutes with each lesson doing oral and written dictation to teach spelling.

The Robinson Curriculum organisation regularly recommends Alpha-Phonics for learners struggling with phonograms. Alpha-Phonics works exceptionally well in teaching phonics, systematic phonics, or teaching English as a second language.

There is also a 24/7 Helpline if you need assistance and a practice workbook.
