KS1 Phonics Tutor for Growing Readers
Small-Group Phonics Support for KS1 Children
Fun, structured phonics support for growing readers aged 5-7.
My small online Phonics Pals groups help children grow in confidence with phonics and reading through engaging, carefully matched lessons.
Phonics Pals groups are mainly designed for Year 1 children. Some Year 2 children who are continuing to build confidence with longer words, spelling patterns, and tricky phonics sounds may also be a good fit.

What Are KS1 Phonics Pals?
Phonics Pals are small online phonics groups for growing KS1 readers led by a phonics tutor and reading specialist.
Children are carefully matched by phonics stage, confidence, and learning style so they feel supported from the very beginning.
Lessons include practical, hands-on learning to help children build their confidence with phonics. Children learn strategies for reading and spelling trickier words.
Is This Right for My Child?
KS1 Phonics Pals may be a good fit if your child:
🧩 knows many sounds but still finds reading tricky
🧩 needs more confidence with tricky words or longer words
🧩 would benefit from stronger phonics strategies for reading
🧩 enjoys learning alongside other children
🧩 is comfortable learning in a small online group setting

🧩All KS1 learners begin with a phonics trial.
The trial is a single 30-minute online session. It includes a short phonics check and a fun phonics game to help build rapport and assess group fit.
