What Your Child Will Learn In Phonics

😎

Letter sound correspondence

Kids begin to notice that letters aren’t just shapes and they actually represent sounds.

🫶

Phonemic awareness practice

Children learn to hear and play with sounds in spoken words.

📚

Blending and segmenting sounds

Children stretch out sounds like /c/–/a/–/t/ and push them together to read a word.

🚀

CVC word reading

Kids read simple-consonant words: CVC words (cat, dog, sun) are often the first real confidence boost.

💡

Sight word recognition

Children recognize common, high-frequency words that don’t follow phonics rules neatly.

🎯

Early reading fluency

Kids learn to read accurately, at a steady pace, and with understanding.

👩‍🏫

Phonics patterns and rules

Kids get to know patterns and spelling rules: digraphs, blends, long vowels, silent e.

😌

Spelling basics through phonics

Instead of memorizing spelling randomly, they learn to apply what they know about sounds and patterns.

Parent & Student Success Stories

We started Brighterly ELA three months ago. My son is autistic and very behind in reading. He was not making progress, even with in-person instruction. I took a trial with Brighterly and decided to give it a try for 1 year. Brighterly changed my son’s instructor 3 times to find the perfect fit for his needs.

We were really very pleased. Our daughter is just learning English and thanks to lessons, her English reading, writing and reading comprehension skills have improved greatly. Our teacher is very patient and teaches in an easy way. We recommend them to everyone

Frequently Asked Questions

What is phonics tutoring?

Phonics tutoring basically helps kids understand how letters and sounds work together. Instead of just guessing or memorizing words, tutors help them make connection between visual representations and sound. 

At Brighterly, phonics classes for kids are adapted to each student. This effectively helps with things such as blending and segmenting and decoding strategies.

Phonics tutoring is usually designed for children ages 4-8. It depends on their early experience with reading – some kids begin to read earlier than others.

How long until reading improves?

With phonics tutoring, reading usually gets better within a couple of weeks of consistent practice. The exact timeline depends on each child’s starting point.
