Delivering Early Years training in Kenya provided an opportunity to reflect on the foundations that support children's learning wherever they are in the world. In this blog, I share six universal learning foundations that continue to shape my work with children, families and educators.

A calm, parent‑friendly guide to how digraphs and trigraphs are taught in Reception, why they matter for early reading, and how this month’s six new sounds help children feel more confident when reading at home.

Two days of international training in Bogotá reminded me how universal great teaching is, and how much our own practice grows when we learn alongside others.

Confidence built word by word, reassurance that families feel supported, and milestones achieved together. From mapped phonics that unlock literacy to gentle support in early maths, every strand of learning at Fabulous at Phonics is designed to help children grow with warmth and clarity, learning that continues at home and in partnership with schools.
