Lesson plans, games, decodable texts, guided reading and much more – we’ve got phonics covered!

A Programme You Can Trust

Our philosophy is borne out of hands-on, recent classroom experience combined with expert phonics knowledge. It is based on the principle that children learn best when they are engaged, involved, and taught in ‘short bursts’, avoiding asking young children to sit and listen for long periods.

We have devised our lessons with all of this in mind, using bright, engaging games and activities that bring joy to phonics learning.

Our Supporting Resources

Decodable Texts

Our decodable texts can be used alongside or during daily lessons. They are embedded into lessons and available as printable books or e-books.

At the end of each half-term, we recommend benchmarking children so you can assign the most appropriate decodable text, using our handy assessment tracker.

Example decodable text resources

Guided Reading

All of our e-books have been specifically written to only include GPCs and tricky words covered within a phonics session. They are visually appealing and all are story-based, so children can embed their decoding skills and develop their comprehension skills too.

SEND Provisioning

Lessons are designed to be multi-sensory to engage all learners and target individual learning styles, as well as acknowledge children’s strengths and weaknesses and profile of needs. Where teachers choose to use the supplementary teaching presentations, these are designed to limit distractions and be clear and easy to follow.

Intervention Programmes

We have two ready-to-use intervention programmes for EYFS/KS1 and KS2 children who may require extra support. The programmes consist of detailed, clear and planned sessions that can be conducted in 1:1s or small groups if children are at a similar level. These have been designed so anyone can perform interventions: a teaching/support assistant, class teacher, or specialist phonics teacher.

Time for Phonics provides a range of handwriting resources aligned with the DfE Reading Framework and phonics validation criteria, including:

  • Letter formation presentations
  • Letter formation rhyme posters and resources
