Pre-Phonics introduces students to the first phase of Phonics learning, where they will develop listening skills in line with the UK Letters and Sounds Curriculum. All children between the age of 3 and 4 in the UK learn pre-phonics skills in this manner. 

Children are made comfortable in an English-rich learning environment, allowing for greater ease when making the transition to Kindergarten.

Six areas of early phonics skills are developed such as environmental sounds, rhythm and rhyme and alliteration. These six phases of learning give children a very strong head start to their phonics studies. English speaking skills are also enhanced, allowing retention of a wide range of relevant vocabulary. 

English literature is taught right from the beginning, giving children the ability to sit, listen and comprehend story books from an early age. A love of books is fostered in children, giving them the desire to want to learn to read.
