Learn to Read and Write

Course Description

CambriLearn's learning to read and write course uses the approach favoured in many of the newer phonics programmes, that of teaching letters and blends rather than teaching all the single letters and then starting on blends. This approach allows the child to ‘read’ words from Week 2. From Week 20, the course sets aside time for sight words.
