Mission Statement

To empower parents, tutors, and home educators with high-quality resources that make early learning fun, accessible, and effective—nurturing confident readers and curious minds from the very start of their educational journey.

The Power of Play

Play is a powerful tool for learning — especially in the early years. While children naturally explore the world through imaginative and open-ended play, structured games can also offer valuable learning opportunities.

As a teacher and tutor, I recognise the importance of engagement, enjoyment, and active involvement in early literacy. That’s why many of the phonics resources include game-based activities that help reinforce learning in a playful way. From phonics card games to sound hunts and matching challenges, these resources are designed to bring energy and fun into your literacy sessions, while supporting key developmental goals.

Although our games are adult-designed and guided, they encourage interaction, choice, and repetition — all essential ingredients in helping children build confidence and fluency with sounds and words.
