The Tiny Turns Page Difference
Rigour without the rote: how you can make phonics fun and meaningful
At Tiny Turns Page, we believe parents make the best teachers. We’re here to give you the information to help you get there.
Research shows that a systematic approach to phonics:
- Is effective for a broad range of students, including those at risk of reading disabilities,
- Supports spelling and writing skills which will last through the schooling years, and
- Builds reading motivation through ensuring early reading success.
Learn and Grow Together
Nothing beats the one-on-one guidance only you can provide. With scripts, printables and “open-and-go” lesson materials, we make quality teaching at home easy.
Multisensory, Screen-Free Fun
Children learn best when they make use of all their senses. We use hands-on, brains-on games that are minimal prep and and maximum fun, so the learning sticks.
Routines That Ensure Progress
Games you find online might work for a quick activity, but that’s it. We use reading routines that adapt to the level your child is at, so your child can sharpen skills as he/she grows.
Quality Reading Materials
Early readers can sacrifice content for easy reading. We help you choose real books and/or use generative AI (read: ChatGPT) to custom-write stories that build skills and a love of reading.
Is Phonics for Parents right for you?
If you want to:
- Teach their child to read yourself — without any extra tutoring or expensive apps, or
- Support your child’s reading journey alongside school,
then Phonics for Parents is for you!
You can start whenever your child is eager and ready to learn to read. Age doesn’t matter.
However, if your children aren’t interested in reading or books yet, it’s best to start with my other course, Storytelling for Parents.

Phonics for Parents is part of my 2-part course suite, Reading for Parents. I want to help parents understand the research behind reading and early literacy skills, and get reading with their kids.
