Preparing Ears, Voices and Fingers for Reading and Writing
Give your child the head start they deserve. From ages 2 to 5, their brains are wired for curiosity, repetition, and interaction—not formal instruction. Funics bridges that gap by combining structured phonics with joyful, hands-on learning, making literacy emotionally and cognitively accessible at the stage when it matters most.
Our approach prepares ears, voices, and fingers for reading and writing through play, movement, storytelling, and talking, helping your child build phonics, gross and fine motor skills, and early writing confidence at their own pace.
What makes Funics unique:
Sensory Learning – We blend movement, sound, story, and play to help children truly feel phonics.
Tech-Enabled Tools – Interactive QR cards bring every activity to life.
Grows With Your Child – Resources develop alongside your child, supporting progress every step of the way.
Over 12 months, your child will learn all the alphabet sounds, begin blending words, and start writing simple words—all while having fun and exploring language meaningfully.

Happy Parents
We absolutely love Funics. There's so much for both child and parent to learn; as well as lots of fun. Funics has helped me as a parent know how to support my child with their learning as they prepare for school. My older son loved it and now I've just started taking my younger son. I can't recommend this class highly enough.

I have recently started attending these sessions with my daughter, they are really engaging and she is learning so much whilst also having great fun. She really looks forward to attending funics on a Friday and I know these sessions will help her in her preparation for School. Highly recommend !

Me and my daughter absolutely love our Funics classes. They are both educational and extremely fun. My daughter loves the activities we do so much that we usually have to come home and repeat them straight away! Helen and Rachel are so welcoming and friendly, we highly recommend these classes to everyone!

I have been taking my son to Funics for two years. It has been the most engaging, fun and laid back class I have ever taken him to and is the only one I have stuck with. He learns through play, and is being taught pre-school basics such as sitting and listening, following instructions, and the activities are all based around development for learning to read and write. Helen and Rachel are considered as part of our extended family and I can't wait to take my daughter when she is old enough!
