WHAT IS PHONICS?

Fitzroy Phonics Method

The Fitzroy Phonics Method is easy to understand, easy to use - and consistently gets great results.

It has been classroom tested in Australia for 20 years and helped thousands of students to well above-average results.

Why it works:

• Proceeds in small, simple steps
• Easy to use
• Systematic and complete
• Starts with stories, not theories
• Fun
• Frequent success experiences
• Gets rapid results
• Teaches all essential phonics building blocks (e.g. letter sounds, digraphs ['ch', 'th', etc.], sight words & spelling rules)
• Avoids rare and abstruse cases that are more easily dealt with as special words.

If you've seen other phonics methods and decided they are too heavy-going for your students, please read a misunderstanding.

All of our teaching materials are not only backed by our 100% unconditional satisfaction guarantee, but also constantly updated to ensure the highest possible quality.

Find out why 3000 Australian schools have invested in our phonics method.

A Misunderstanding

We have discovered that some teachers shy away from the Fitzroy Readers when they hear that it is a systematic phonics approach. Why is this so? Because they have encountered other systematic phonic methods (old-fashioned methods) which require children to swallow a large slab of theory or pronunciation rules before they ever start to read stories.

The Fitzroy Method has just the opposite approach. We start with stories and gently add awareness of new digraphs, story by story. Once you know the basic sounds of 13 basic letters of the alphabet, you can read Story 1!

Furthermore, we don’t try to put all the myriad ways of spelling English sounds into a system. For example, uncommon spelling patterns like would, could and should, are simply introduced in the Fitzroy Method as special words (like yacht and eye).
