Significant improvement in dictation ability in just 3.5 months
One lesson per week, and the entire phonics course can be completed in about 1 to 1.5 years (while it typically takes around 3 years elsewhere). Graduates of the program can do dictation by sound and spell words without rote memorization. To make it easier for children to absorb, the course design incorporates various memory techniques for young learners, such as action-based memory, story association, imagery, strong auditory and rhythmic elements, and more. These methods gradually help children absorb and apply what they learn in a fun and engaging learning environment. Typically, after 3.5 months, students are able to master basic decoding and dictation by sound. Brighter Phonics is one of the few English education centers that guarantees students can achieve dictation by sound.
*Learning progress varies from person to person and depends on individual review time.
In-house materials
Brighter Phonics
Bright International Education's phonics course has been meticulously designed to cater to children of various English levels, enabling them to joyfully learn and easily master English pronunciation and dictation. Here are some key features of this course:
- Brighter Phonics: The materials cover phonics knowledge from basic to advanced levels, helping students start with letter recognition and gradually transition to more complex phonics skills and vocabulary.
- Three Learning Stages:Brighter Phonics is divided into three stages, each targeting different needs and levels of students in their phonics learning.
- Memory Techniques for Young Learners:A variety of memory techniques for young children are used, including sensory training through actions, music, pictures, and stories, which are beneficial for children with dyslexia
- Dictation by Sound:95% of tutoring centers only focus on reading, and cannot achieve the effect of dictation by sound. Dictation by sound is ten times more difficult than reading (since one is input, the other is output). Therefore, only 5% of centers can achieve the dictation by sound effect. Brighter Education is one of the 5% that can achieve this.
- Increase Confidence and Interest in English:In a short period, students’ English spelling skills rapidly improve, while their confidence and interest in English will also significantly rise. As a result, students will find learning English much more effective and enjoyable.
Students show significant progress, with excellent word-of-mouth reviews.
Brighter Phonics Teaching Stages
