Skinat Tuition provides fun, structured online phonics tuition for children aged 4–7. Whether your child is just starting to learn letters and sounds or needs extra support with blending and decoding, our expert phonics tutors help lay the foundation for confident reading and spelling.Why Phonics MattersPhonics teaches children how to link sounds (phonemes) to letters (graphemes) and is the first step in learning to read. It’s a core part of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Key Stage 1 (KS1) national curriculum.Children who master phonics early tend to become stronger readers, spellers, and more confident learners across the curriculum.Who Is This For?Our phonics tuition supports:

• Children in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2
• Pupils preparing for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check
• Learners who are struggling to blend sounds or decode words
• Children who have fallen behind or lack confidence in early reading
• SEN and EAL learners who need more structured support

What We TeachOur phonics tutors use engaging, evidence-based methods to teach:
