Discover playful literacy and phonics tips, expert advice, and creative learning ideas.
Thoughtfully written for families, carers and educators.

This autumn, we’re tapping into rhythm to build phonological awareness, emotional safety, and joyful confidence in early literacy. From conker drops to syllable trails, discover how mapped movement and seasonal play help children feel the beat and segment sound — step by step.

Every month, our phonics box brings mapped lessons straight to your door: short, expert-led sessions designed to build confidence, clarity, and joy. In this post, we take a closer look at what we mean by ‘lessons in the box’ and how they gently support your child’s learning.

Rhyme isn’t just playful: it’s foundational. This post explores why rhyme matters in early literacy, how it builds confidence through sound play, and how our Early Learner Box and Free Pack support Nursery, Reception, and Year 1 learners with mapped, emotionally safe activities.
