Why Phonics?
Let's dive deeper into the heart of Mika's mission: phonics mastery! Phonics, the relationship between sounds and letters, lays the foundation for reading and writing proficiency. By honing phonics skills, children gain the ability to decode words, understand their meanings, and express themselves with confidence. The National Curriculum followed by all educational institutions states that when taught in a structured way with increasing difficulty levels then phonics is āthe most effective way of teaching young children to readā.Ā
Our educators took the essential phonics skills your child will use throughout their life and worked with game designers to make the learning process fun! Our games never feel like homework to children because each one is painstakingly designed to capture their imagination and empower them to lead the adventure themselves.
