Frequently Asked Questions

We love to hear from you. If you have a new question, email [email protected]

  • Can you tutor my child?

    The program has step-by-step, pre-recorded lesson videos only. Parents can receive personalised support from Jessie by message. Ask questions and receive answers within 24hrs. Right now, I am a full time classroom teacher and grade leader. I have other focuses, and I am not prioritising live 1 to 1 tutoring.

  • I'm a homeschooler, will this program work for my child?

    Our best reviews are from parents that homeschool their kids. That's because they follow the program consistently and watch my advice videos. If you're a homeschooler, I'm here for you!

  • I am a teacher, can I use this program in my classroom?

    Yes, if you have a projector/screen or iPads. Several schools are already using it as a cost-effective phonics program. You can start using it in your classroom tomorrow. It requires no planning or teacher training, and will teach your students to read.

  • I am an adult that wants to learn English. Is this Academy for me?

    The content is made for kids, but several adults have used our content to learn to read English. Many parents who speak English as an additional language have improved their reading skills by watching the lessons with their kids. I recommend using the free trial to see if it is for you.

  • My child is not aged 4-7, is the content still useful?

    If your child is aged 8-10 and they cannot yet read and write in English, this Academy will do wonders. If your child is dyslexic, please read my other FAQ. Children aged 10+ may find the content is too young for them. Children aged 3 have benefited from our academy, but this is a little younger than national averages.

  • How long does it take?

    We recommend your child completes one short lesson every day at the same time (kids love routine and consistency). If you follow this advice, a complete beginner reader will complete the whole academy within 2 months. However, every child is different and it's normal to return to some old lessons for revision and practice.

  • My child is dyslexic, will this program help them?

    Yes, it is very likely to help, however the best strategies for dyslexic children are tailored and personalised. When it comes to dyslexia, studies show that early intervention and additional support is crucial. The earlier that support, the more impactful it is. Meta-studies show that early phonemic awareness and phonics instruction often helps dyslexic learners overcome their language processing issues, especially those that aren't severely affected. Our Academy gives crucial phonics and phonemic awareness instruction.

  • Does this Academy teach phonics?

    Yes, our method teaches phonics directly. Each new sound is introduced one at a time, alongside blending skills. Knowledge is built sequentially. The latest research advises that children are taught using a mix of phonics and sight words (the best of both worlds).
