Research shows that phonics, when taught correctly, is one of the best ways of teaching children to learn to read. It develops a child’s reading fluency, builds their patience and concentration, broadens their grasp of vocabulary and lays a proper foundation for the success of a child. A good phonics education is not merely one that raises phonemic awareness but should be one that encompasses a complete, well-rounded reading program. It should encourage learners to read, as well as provide children ample opportunities for extensive reading and creative writing. Our synthetic approach to phonics is a method of teaching where words are broken up into the smallest units of sounds. Children are taught how to identify different sounds, how to blend them together to read and at the same time, how to break up words in order to be able to spell correctly. As long time phonics teachers ourselves, we have used and observed many different phonic programs available on the market and ours is one that is designed particularly with the strengths and weaknesses of an English as a second language student in mind. Our phonics program includes:
• Simple and systematic introduction to different letter sounds
• Supplementary exercise which helps solidify the learning of sounds
• Varied practice to apply learnt skills
• Integrated approach to connecting reading to writing
• Rules and patterns of English spelling taught to ensure greater success in both reading and spelling

Acknowledging the difficulty parents may encounter when revising the sounds with their children, we even have:
• Easy to follow videos of phonemes to facilitate the learning process after class!

我們教學拼音的方法是將單詞分解成最小的聲音單位。我們會教導孩子們如何識別不同的聲音, 如何將它們混合在一起閱讀,同時,如何分解單詞,以便能夠正確拼寫。
創辦人教學拼音和英文多年,他們亦使用過和觀察了許多市面上不同的拼音課程,集合了它們的長處和短處，最後研究了一個為香港孩子而設拼音課程。我們的拼音課程包括:
1. 簡單而有系統地介紹不同的字母發音。
2. 充足的練習去鞏固學生於課堂中所學到的聲音
3. 各種不同類別的練習讓學生實踐他們所學到的聲音
4. 將閱讀融入寫作
5. 教授英語拼寫的規則和模式,以提高他們在閱讀和拼寫的準確度。
我們亦知道父母和孩子一起溫習時可能會遇到的困難,所以我們還準備了視頻幫助家長去協助孩子，為他們提供一個既輕鬆又有效的學習過程。
