Phonics & Early Reading
Helping young readers master phonics, blending and early reading skills.
Is your child finding phonics tricky, struggling to blend sounds or lacking confidence with reading? I offer personalised phonics and early reading tuition in Havant and Portsmouth, supporting children in Reception, KS1 and older pupils who need additional help with their reading. As a qualified primary teacher, I use systematic phonics teaching and practical, engaging activities to develop letter-sound recognition, blending, segmenting, tricky words and reading fluency. Sessions are carefully planned around your child's starting points, with targeted teaching and regular opportunities to revisit and consolidate learning. Whether your child is learning to read for the first time or needs support to close gaps in their phonics knowledge, my approach focuses on developing secure reading skills and helping them become more fluent, confident and independent readers.
