## Description

The Phonics App teaches reading with clear, teacher-led phonics lessons designed for anyone learning to read. Start for free with a–z sounds and two-letter blending, then unlock hundreds more practised words and informal checks to reinforce progress. The app focuses on pronunciation (English accent), blending skills, lowercase and capital letters, and common irregular (tricky) words so learners build decoding confidence step by step.

Created by a parent and a phonics teacher influencer, The Phonics App is simple, no-nonsense, and suitable for children, parents, teachers and adult learners. Follow guided lessons, practise with over 400 decodable examples, and track learning through short checks after each section. Subscribe to access the full program and gain the skills to decode nearly every English word.
