Phonics Through Stories
The Phonics Through Stories class is designed for children aged 3 to 6 years who love listening to tales and are ready to learn phonics in a creative and meaningful way. This class uses the power of storytelling to teach key phonics concepts such as letter sounds, blends, sight words, and sentence structure.
Each session revolves around an engaging story—read aloud by a mentor—with targeted phonics sounds naturally woven into the narrative. As children listen, identify sounds, and repeat words from the story, they develop reading readiness and begin connecting sounds with meanings. Follow-up activities include sound spotting, word matching, creative drawing, and retelling parts of the story using new vocabulary.

When phonics hides inside a story, children don’t just learn — they listen, imagine, and remember forever
The Phonics Through Stories class brings the magic of storytelling into the heart of phonics learning. Designed for children aged 3 to 6 years, this class uses captivating storybooks to naturally introduce and reinforce letter sounds, word families, and high-frequency words.
Each session features a carefully selected story that highlights specific phonics concepts—like short vowels, blends, or digraphs—woven seamlessly into the narrative. As children listen, they begin to hear, recognize, and engage with the sounds, all while following exciting plots and lovable characters.
With a blend of read-aloud sessions, sound-spotting games, and creative response activities like drawing or retelling, children absorb phonics in a way that feels joyful and meaningful. This class helps build foundational literacy skills while nurturing imagination, listening, and a lifelong love for reading.

To ensure your child gets the most out of our Sound Discovery sessions, here are a few simple things you’ll need to prepare before class:
🧸 1. A Quiet & Comfortable Space
Set up a small, distraction-free area where your child can sit and move comfortably. A soft mat or corner with cushions works great.
🎧 2. Good Internet & Audio Setup
Ensure a stable internet connection and use a device (tablet/laptop) with clear audio. Headphones are optional but helpful if your environment is noisy.
🧽 3. Simple Props & Sensory Items
Keep a few age-appropriate sensory items nearby for play-along activities. Suggested items:
-
Rattles or sound-making toys
-
Soft balls or textured fabrics
-
Small animal figurines or household objects that make gentle noise (bells, shakers)
A weekly prop list will be shared by your teacher before each class.
👩👧 4. Light Parental Support
A parent or guardian should be nearby (especially for children under 2.5 years) to help with transitions, manage materials, and encourage participation if needed.
📅 5. Consistent Attendance & Timing
Consistency helps build routine and confidence. Please be on time and try to attend each session to get the full benefit of the program.
