❓What is Phonics with Robot Reg?❓

We are parent and child sessions which are fun, engaging and high energy and open a world of Literacy to children whilst also teaching the key early phonics skills.

I offer 3 classes..

🤖MINIS - This is for children aged from 1 to approximately 2 1/2 years old.

In this class we explore sounds and rhymes whilst also developing and enhancing your child's speaking and listening skills. All this is achieved through dance, role play, games and singing. We base our role play on real life situations such as pe***ng out the washing or making our teddy bears better

🤖PRE-SCHOOl from approxaged 2 1/2 to starting school.

In this class we gently introduce a new letter sound every week in a fun and interactive way. Alliteration, rhyme are explored alongside developing oral blending and segmenting. All skills that are vital foundations for reading and writing. In addition to this we also develop both gross and fine motor skills to help support their handwriting. We sing, dance and play games. All in an engaging and interactive way- your child won't even realise they are learning! This classes really will help to prepare your child for starting school!

🤖 Home Education
We continue learning phonics, introducing digraphs and trigraphs as well as learning to read high Frequency words. All this with our usual games and dances. This class is for those families who have chosen to Home Educate their children.

Today I had a lovely coffee at coffee in at Martlesham. It was 4 years ago next month that I sat in this very same place discussing whether or not to buy a franchise!

1 year later I had brought the franchise and had my training. I couldn't fully launch in the January as we were back in lockdown but. I did manage to run some online sessions whilst home schooling. Fun fact I still have 2 fabulous childminders who have been with me since the online days!

I am so excited to see what 2025 brings my way. I would love to welcome more settings to our sessions and expand into more areas!

Follow me over the next few daysto find out more about myself and the sessions that we offer
