Teach your child to read today with Fantastic Phonics.
The Phonics System proven by exhaustive independent Government research.


FANTASTIC PHONICS is a successful Phonics Program which has helped millions of children over the last 13 years. Our focus is to help children, worldwide, to read – charities and aid agencies can distribute the books free.

It is sophisticated, and highly creative – it is based on 30 years of Research which outlines the most effective ways to teach children to read.

The Program is full of fun, with rhyming stories, humorous illustrations, and hilarious situations … the Stories draw children into reading like “bees to a honeypot”. They have a wonderful fun that children adore, about the early years of a family -  it was a time of love and laughter and adventure.

Independent Government Research

In 2008, USAID (http://www.usaid.gov) began a 3 year research project, using Fantastic Phonics. The aim was to determine the most effective way of teaching children to read, specifically in Liberia, Africa. The results were stunning – an average 300% improvement. With those impressive results, the program was expanded and more
than 75,000 copies of Fantastic Phonics were printed for children in Liberian schools.

HOW FANTASTIC PHONICS WORKS
Fantastic Phonics is structured in three Series, covering the full complexity of reading skills.


Series One (20 storybooks) starts each child from the beginning!
>> covers the basic Phonic sounds.
>> each story shows how letter combinations make predictable sounds.

>> they teach children how to "decode" common words using Phonics.


Series Two (20 storybooks) extends the child's reading knowledge.
>> introduction of spelling variations (eg, pie, high, sky).

>> more complex Phonic decoding, double syllable words, and punctuation.
>> builds "instant recall" of the 48 phonic sounds.
 


Series Three (20 storybooks) is the gateway into independent reading.
>> increasingly difficult words and sentence structure.
>> variation and rules are covered, such as "i before e except after c"
>> how different spellings can create the same sound ( blew, blue, too)

What Research into Reading Tells Us

The major lesson is that reading is a learned skill. It is not a naturally-learnt skill, like talking. If a child has difficulties (still) in Grade 3, then the child will continue to have problems – forever – unless specific intervention occurs. And the later its left, the more difficult it becomes. 

In a mass research program of 170 schools, Fantastic Phonics was shown to be extraordinarily effective. When used in a systematic manner, (with other awareness tools like flashcards), Fantastic Phonics helped produce an overall improvement of 250%, with a 450% increase in phonic fluency decoding previously unseen words.

A systematic manner means that the books are read in sequence, with constant revision – don't progress beyond the child's ability, but allow the child to consolidate their knowledge, then move forward in steps. 

While its tempting to provide 'lots of resources' to your child, its confusing, because your child needs a 'gentle hill to climb', not a series of disjointed, out-of-order resources. Most are untested and can work against your child by the confusion they create.
