Developing Early Literacy Skills through Explicit and Systematic Phonics Instruction (20th Intake)
A 3-day Intensive workshop by Dr Alice TangDiscover Phonics Foundation with Alice for yourself. Presented through direct instruction, Phonics Foundation employs a multisensory, systematic and explicit phonics instruction based on developmentally appropriate principles of early literacy instruction.
The Phonics Foundation method trains and equips children with word recognition strategies that significantly strengthen their visual ability to identify word patterns, apart from the essential training of blending to read and segmenting to spell.
The Phonics Foundation programme begins with prior knowledge of phonemic awareness to learning the letter sounds and culminates with decoding skills that give children a systematic strategic plan to read unknown words.
The 3 days of intensive workshops of participative instructions help participants acquire the requisite knowledge and skills that allow them to effectively and strategically teach the 44+ phonemes to young children.

Very good! Everything has helped me, especially the crash course part for dire straits situations as my K2 are in that stage. Thank you so much Alice!
I didn’t know my difficulties or problems with phonics until I had this course. Really helped me a lot. Thanks for helping.
Thank you so much for the course. I’ve enjoyed learning how to teach children how to blend and segment at the same time. This workshop allows me to try & know my errors and know where to work form there.
I’ve learnt a lot more on segmenting. There are techniques doing segmenting. I find it very useful and knowledgeable so that I can teach my students correctly.
This course is useful for us, teachers to implement to the children. It has enhances my knowledge & skills. I’ve learned my mistakes especially the letter sounds and understand very well on how to implement proper lesson for the children.
In all, phonics is new to me having just taken over K1. It’s intense, however, most helpful in helping me understand better. Thanks Alice!
Ms Alice shared a lot of good insights about how to deliver the lesson properly using the appropriate strategies. I’ve learned the importance of consistency.
I am more confident in delivering to children after this course. A good system to deliver to children’s learning.
Have benefit me and will help me to teach children the correct sound of the letters.
It has been a very rewarding learning experience for me as someone who has not been trained in phonics. The sessions were interesting and the trainer, Dr Alice Tang, has inspired me to speak well.
I really benefitted a lot for this training. I’ve gone through a National Geo training with Dr Alice before and was totally blown away with the amount of positive notes. Thank you Dr Alice for the extremely well constructed training. Am totally blown away once again.
I am very thankful for this course as I am more aware of what is expected from me(as a teacher) and from my children. Knowing the sounds also improve my articulation. Thank you Dr Alice!
This course is good as now I have a more systematic way to carry out the lesson. The steps are repetitive, thus making sense to children too. . Thank you, Alice!
I’ve learned the easier and more effective way of teaching children phonics. The strategies taught by the instructor is very useful. Thank you.
The teaching procedure notes given during the training is very helpful as it give me an idea how to go about teaching children.
I am now more confident in teaching the different sounds to my children that I feel with this new set of knowledge, I can communicate better with parents & staff.
My experience was good. The synthetic method of introducing Phonics is useful in my classroom practices. I saw success in my children’s learning. The workshop is interesting and I did correct some of my phonemes.
I learned a lot from this 3 days course. Especially the part where we were thought blending as well as letter sound. Now I am able to confidently teach the children phonics.
