Time for Phonics is a DfE validated, time-saving, activity-based phonics programme that follows the Letters and Sounds progression.
With proven results, our active phonics lessons will engage children with learning to help them make rapid progress in reading.
With no complicated training, mantras or characters to learn, and an easy to navigate website, you can get started straight away.
Letters and Sounds
Decodable texts
Lesson plans
Time for Phonics is very closely aligned with the Letters and Sounds framework, using the same familiar language. Daily sessions follow a set routine of review, teach, practise and apply to ensure fidelity and structure.
Our decodable texts can be used alongside or during daily lessons at the bottom of the appropriate lesson page. Embedded into the corresponding studio lessons, the texts are also designed to be read by children individually, either at home or in school as printable books.
The lesson plans have been specifically designed to be simple, and “pick up and go”, without too much advance preparation. Lessons can either be accessed online via the website, or downloaded as a weekly plan.

Phonics Screening Check Helper
With specifically designed practice resources and motivating phonics games, Time for phonics is the ideal resource to make sure your class is ready for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check.
Structured Intervention Programme
We have two structured intervention programmes for EYFS/KS1 and KS2 children who require additional support. The programmes consist of clear and planned sessions to support pupils either 1:1 or in a small group if children are at a similar level.
Accompanying Phonics Resources
Each of the daily online lesson plans links to a Google drive folder that contains all the downloadable resources you need for the whole week. Some of the resources can be re-used week after week, so there’s no need to print every single resource each time.
Lesson Presentations
In phases 2, 3, 4 and 5, most of the online daily lessons contain a lesson presentation that can be used as an alternative to the suggested activities. The lesson presentations help guide you through the lesson, and can be great for those days when you feel that the children need something very structured.
