See how Phonics Path works

Your child doesn't just watch. They practice saying the sound before moving forward.

Say the sound โ†’ unlock the next lesson

  1. 1Your child sees a letter and hears its sound.
  2. 2They're asked to say the sound into the microphone.
  3. 3The attempt is checked straight away.
  4. 4A correct sound unlocks the next lesson.
  5. 5Sounds then join together into whole words.

Watching isn't enough.

Many phonics resources let children tap through lesson after lesson. Phonics Path encourages active learning by asking children to say the target sound before they continue.

  1. Listen

    Hear the sound modelled clearly.

  2. Speak

    Say the sound into the microphone.

  3. Check

    The attempt is checked right away.

  4. Unlock

    The next lesson opens.

  5. Read

    Blend the sounds into a word.

From sounds to reading

The goal isn't more screen time. It's the moment your child looks at a word and reads it themselves.

A structured path to early reading

33 lessons across Book 1 and Book 2, in a set letter-sound order โ€” from single sounds to blending whole words.

  1. 1

    Learn first sounds

    Book 1 starts with single letter sounds, one lesson at a time.

  2. 2

    Practice & review

    A cumulative 2-sound review brings earlier sounds back in every lesson.

  3. 3

    Build sound recognition

    Each sound must be said correctly twice before it counts as learned.

  4. 4

    Blend sounds

    Book 2 puts sounds together โ€” /s/ /a/ /t/ becomes one smooth word.

  5. 5

    Read simple words

    Eight CVC words per blending lesson, each one read aloud.

  6. 6

    Show mastery

    33 lessons, 33 stickers โ€” each earned by speaking, not by tapping.

Made for young learners beginning their reading journey

Children beginning phonics

Meeting letters and sounds for the first time.

Early English readers

Building the sound skills that reading depends on.

Parents practising at home

Teachers and homeschool families are welcome too โ€” the same lessons work in small-group practice.

Built by an English teacher

Phonics Path was created by an English teacher who wanted children to do more than watch phonics videos. The goal is simple: give children structured opportunities to hear sounds, say them, practice them, and gradually use them to read.

Made by AEJ Language Academy, which also runs English exam-preparation programmes. Read more about the approach.
