Why use Phonics Hero?:

A Theme Kids Love

Who doesn’t love a superhero? Phonics Hero’s games are built around an engaging storyline that children love; rescuing superheroes and locking up baddies. It means that our own little heroes get on average, 39 hours of extra phonics practice.

What Makes our Phonics Games Different:

Our games are easy on fine-motor skills. We want to test phonics not hand-eye coordination!
We cover every aspect of phases 2-5 of Letters and Sounds and all 26 units of Playing with Sounds.
Many games shy away from teaching tricky words, spelling and sentences – these are core to Phonics Hero alongside the sounds and blending.
Children are stopped from jumping too far ahead; we ensure competency at the basics before moving onto more complex content.

Our Games Come in Two Orders of Sounds:

Letters and Sounds:

s a t p i n m d

Playing with Sounds:

s m c t g p a o

Compare the two orders.

Try Our Systematic, Synthetic Phonics Games

Step 1 – Knowing the sounds

step 1 - learn the sounds with Phonics Hero

Children learn the sound and match it to the letter(s).

Step 2 – Reading words with these sounds

Using the group of learned sounds, children begin blending simple CVC words.

Step 3 – Spelling words with these sounds

Next, children use the learned sounds to begin segmenting words to spell.

Step 4 – Reading camera/tricky words

Children practise reading these tricky, but essential, words.

Step 5 – Spell camera/tricky words

Next, children learn to spell these tricky words so they can move onto writing sentences.

Step 6 – Sentence reading

We put all these skills together to read sentences!

What Other Teachers Think

Valerie Whitehead, Juan Seguin Elementary, United States

I’m so excited – in a matter of one month of using the Child Accounts, my students’ reading levels have increased 1 reading level.

Laura Nelis, Knockmore Primary, UK

The children love Phonics Hero. I love how gradual it is, how it’s not too busy – it’s perfect for those children who need that extra help.

Lauren Stretton, Covenant Christian School, UK

The kids are loving the interactive games! The repetition is great and the consistency of the program means students know what to do but get excited about the new and different characters (they love Super Ted!).

Lorraine Ledwell, St Clare’s School, UK

I have only been using the Child Accounts for 6 months but my group has averaged an improvement of 3 stages in that time. Normally it would take a year to progress just 2 stages.
