"....a huge thank you to Debbie for helping my family so much...one thing I no longer have to worry about is whether my children are able to learn their synthetic phonics, as with your brilliant course they have been picking them up very quickly at home with just a few minutes teaching each day"
Mother of 4 - UK
" I purchased this phonics curriculum for use with my own children. A to Z Phonics have chosen Phonics International as their preferred phonics curriculum. I recommend it to anyone who is considering a synthetic phonics approach to teach reading. You know you will be covering everything your child needs to know to become confident fluent readers, writers AND spellers which turns you into a confident TEACHER/TUTOR! It is especially recommended for classroom settings"
Jane Buckley - founder of A to Z Phonics
