Whatever a child wants to learn—math or science, art or history—a solid foundation in reading and writing skills is a must.
Research supports that phonics is a key predictor of later reading success.

The UptoSix Phonics Apps follow the synthetic phonics approach.
Synthetic phonics begins with explicitly teaching isolated sound-letter relationships and then blending sounds to make words. To spell, children learn to segment a word into its individual sounds.
As the name suggests, synthetic phonics requires children to synthesise sounds to make words.
It is important that, from the beginning, children be taught how to write letters in proper formation. Wrong-writing habits are very difficult to get rid of.
Identifying a word’s beginning and ending sounds prepares children for spelling. These games help develop listening skills. There is a huge database of words that gives children endless practice.
Children learn to read by blending the individual sounds of a word. Like the sounds /s/-/a/-/t/ are blended to read’sat’.
To spell, children learn to segment a word into individual sounds. Like’sat’ is segmented to the sounds /s/, /a/, and /t/ to spell.
Blending and segmenting are just opposites of each other.
As children master the skill of blending, they progress from reading words to reading phrases.
Phonics lessons will be incomplete unless students learn concepts such as Consonant Blends, Digraphs, Tricky Words, Magic ‘e’, and Alternate Spellings. Teaching children only the single letter sounds is similar to teaching them half-strategies for cracking the alphabetic code. The Uptosix Phonics PLUS App covers all advanced phonics concepts.
