Teaching Phonics With Purpose

Hi, I'm Sarah. I believe every child has the capacity to become a confident, independent reader — they just need the right guidance and a teacher who truly believes in them.

After more than a decade working in primary schools — including 8 years as a SENCO — I started Prime Phonics to offer the kind of focused, responsive teaching that changes outcomes. My sessions blend the rigour of structured literacy with the warmth and play that young learners thrive on.
