Bright Light Phonics – Book 1

Watching your child learn to read and write can be a wonderfully exciting time! As mothers ourselves, we have seen first-hand the joy children get from being able to recognise their first sounds, words and sentences. Structured in a weekly format, we hope this workbook will provide a straightforward and enjoyable way in which to guide your child on their phonics journey!

This book is ideal in supporting and reinforcing phase 2 phonics for Reception children in England. Reception children are those entering the first year of primary school (4-5 year olds). Schools in England are required to follow the Government’s Letters and Sounds Programme and so this book will fit well with your child’s own school teaching of phonics.

For some children, they may be ready to start their phonics journey from preschool age (3 years old) and some nursery settings teach the phase 2 sounds in the year before children begin school. This book can help to support these children.

For those children not in a school environment in England but who speak English, the book is suitable for children as they start learning to read and write, typically 4-6 year olds.

The book is also perfect for non-English speaking children of all ages who are learning to read and write English.
