Phonics Hero gives tutors everything they need to structure and reinforce online or face-to-face phonics lessons — and keeps learning fun for students.
“There’s EVERYTHING a tutor needs to teach reading and spelling with research-backed phonics: sound buttons, pictures to support vocabulary building, sentences, differentiation — it’s all there with the click of a button!”

Tutors can create a free Teacher Account to access Phonics Hero’s classroom resources and start a trial of our add-ons: the no-prep Phonics Lessons and Child Accounts. Your tutoring clients also receive an 80% discount on the home version of the Child Accounts.
Our interactive, click-and-go Phonics Lessons give you every sound, word, and sentence needed to explicitly and systematically teach phonics. Each lesson includes sound buttons, decodable words, sentences, and built-in differentiation.

Our 850 games systematically practise the sounds, reading, spelling, tricky words, and sentence skills your students need. Tutors can use them in three flexible ways:
Work through each activity alongside your student, discussing the approach they use to read or spell each word. The student enjoys instant feedback and the motivation of progressing toward rescuing the heroes.
For small-group sessions, log each child in to their own account and guide them as they practise their phonics skills. You can monitor progress in real time and step in with support where needed.
Encourage students to continue practising between sessions. With hundreds of hours of phonics games and an 80% discount on home pricing, you can offer families a powerful extra learning tool — included as a bonus in your tutoring package.
