Early Literacy of Phonics
an evidence-based approach to teaching early literacy through phonics, proven to boost reading skills in young learners
Phonics is a teaching method that focuses on the connection between letters and sounds, using a step-by-step approach to help young learners recognize and decode letters and their corresponding sounds.
By building this foundational skill, children can develop a strong foundation in reading and writing, leading to increased interest and engagement in reading.
Our Missions
We strive to provide young learners with a strong foundations in phonics and reading skills, empowering them to become confident and independent readers.
​
We aim to make the learning process engaging and fun, helping children develop a lifelong love of reading and a solid basis for future academic success.
Phonics Level 1: Single Letter Sounds
What will they learn?
Level 1 focuses on single letter sounds, where young learners will learn the sounds of each individual letter and develop phonemic awareness and the ability to associate letter sounds with their corresponding symbols.
In addition, students will start to develop fine motor skills necessary for writing.
Who is it for?
Suitable for children aged 3 - 4 or who are just starting to learn phonics and letter recognitions
Phonics Level 2: Short Vowel Sounds
What will they learn?
Level 2 introduces short vowels, building on the foundation of single letter sounds and teaching young learners how to sound out CVC words.
​
By the end of level 2, students will develop the ability to segment words into individual sounds for spelling and to read sight words stories independently.
Who is it for?
Suitable for children aged 4 - 4.5 or who have a basic understanding of single letter sounds and are ready to move on to short vowels.
Phonics Level 3: Long Vowel Sounds
What will they learn?
Level 3 teaches long vowels, helping students to recognize the different ways that vowels can be pronounced and how this affects the way that words are spelled.
​
By the end of level 3, students will develop fluency in reading short stories and build up more vocabulary.
Who is it for?
Suitable for children aged 5 - 5.5 or who have a good grasp of short vowels and are ready to learn about long vowels.
Phonics Level 4:
Vowel Teams and Consonant Blends
What will they learn?
Level 4 focuses on vowel teams and consonant blends, teaching students how to recognize and read more complex letter combinations that are commonly used in English.
​
By the end of level 4, students will develop fluency in reading and writing words with various vowel teams and consonant blends and the ability to use irregular vowel spellings to decode words.
Who is it for?
Suitable for children aged 5.5 - 6 or who have a good understanding of long vowels and are ready to tackle more complex phonics patterns like vowel teams and consonant blends.
Our Methodology
Placement Assessment
At Phi Education, we take a personalized approach to teaching early literacy of phonics, starting with a PLACEMENT ASSESSMENT for every new student. This helps us understand their current literacy level and knowledge, and tailor our teaching approach to their individual needs.
Hands-On Learning
We then use a combination of hands-on learning, problem-solving exercises , and the CPA method to help students build a strong foundation of math concepts and develop critical thinking skills.
Experienced Teachers
Our experienced teachers also provides ongoing feedback and supports to ensure each student is able to reach their full potential.
Homework & Test
To reinforce student understanding and ensure mastery of concepts, we assign homework after each class, which is carefully designed to complement the day's lessons.
Additionally, we administer chapter tests periodically to assess each student's progress and understanding of the material. These assessments also help us identify any gaps in their knowledge and adjust our teaching accordingly.
Our goal is to ensure that every student feels confident and capable in their math abilities and can apply their knowledge to real-world problem-solving situations.
