PHONICS PLAY BY BROLLY JUNIORS
Small steps from sounds to stories.
Explore 69 mini-lessons across 13 learning worlds. Begin with letter sounds and blending, then move towards more complex patterns, sentences and short stories.
Letter sounds
Connect a written letter with a spoken sound: m, s, a, t. Use the English recordings before asking your child to repeat or recognise the sound.
Blending and CVC words
Bring sounds together: s–a–t → sat. CVC words such as cat and sun provide short examples with a consonant, a vowel and a consonant.
Digraphs and consonant blends
Two letters can represent one sound, as sh in ship. In a blend such as st in stop, the consonant sounds can still be heard separately.
Vowel patterns and alternative spellings
Explore patterns such as ai in rain and ee in see. English sounds can have more than one spelling, and a spelling can behave differently in another word. Listen before generalising.
Syllables and longer words
Say rabbit and listen for two beats: rab-bit. Breaking a longer word into manageable parts gives another way to explore its sound structure.
Sentences and short stories
Read a short sentence, then ask what happened. Story Explorer adds questions that connect sounding out with understanding.
Choose by comfort, not by speed
If a child guesses a whole word, slow down and hear its sounds together. If simple blending is easy, try a new pattern. This progression describes app content; it is not a promise of a particular reading outcome.
A LITTLE PRACTICE. A BIG ADVENTURE.
