"The best reading app for kids for building phonics awareness" BP Atlanta

"Proven to work and fun"

“Sounds English Phonics is an excellent product which was complementary to our existing teaching programme. I would recommend the app as part of a teacher’s armoury and believe it is a very useful addition for all children learning to read, that can be used either at school or in the home. ” Robert Eves, Grade 3 Teacher, St John’s Green School, Essex

“I was looking for something to help my 7 year old with his reading and I came across this app. It was easy to use and he really enjoys it and loves the characters. He cant wait to use it when he comes home from school. I can see him progressing and his reading confidence and interest is building quickly. I know that when he finishes the sounds he will have a great foundation for reading. A really great find!” - Lottie ELISA

Proven results

A study was carried out in St John’s Green School, Essex, United Kingdom with a sample size of sixty one children in Year 3 aged between 8-9 years old. A group used Sounds English Phonics in the classroom during the school day and was scheduled to spend fifteen minutes a day using the app over 20 school days (a 30 day period), within their scheduled standard literacy class.

Sounds English Phonics was 2.8 times more effective than the standard programme within the study period of only 30 days.

The majority of students using Sounds English Phonics gained more than a year in reading age in the test period. The average gain amongst this test group was 11 months within a 20 school day period. Every student in the test group improved their reading age.

Additionally, 42% of children in the test group learnt all 92 written sounds within 15 school days and 100% learnt all 92 in 20 school days.

Testimonials
“This app has been put together with style, flair and imagination. It is very visually engaging, which of course is vital for todays distracted kids; it looks professional from start to finish; and, best of all, it works as a method of teaching. Clearly an enormous amount of thinking and practical testing has gone into this and I think it will prove to be a very effective tool”. C WrightMedia

“This is an amazing app. I started it with my 9 year old daughter who I thought was a good reader. When she started I noticed gaps in her reading ability immediately. With using the app. we were able to improve her reading and confidence. I’m also a teacher and I use this with emergent readers in my class to great effect. I have seen students grow in confidence in a short time.” - S McGurgan

"Graphically it’s stunning. At 7 years old my daughter was struggling with her phonics. This app has helped my daughter where all other aids failed" Mark Folkard, UK
