Montessori Phonics + Systematic Synthetic Phonics (SSP)

A complete early-English program that blends Montessori sensorial letter work with structured, research-backed phonics instruction. Designed to help children build strong foundations in reading, writing, spelling, grammar, and comprehension — ideal for beginning and emerging readers ages 4–8.

Why Reading Matters in the Philippines Today

According to the 2024 PSA FLEMMS survey, while 93.1% of Filipinos can read and write, only 70.8% are functionally literate — meaning many children struggle with comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking.

Early structured reading programs make a lifelong difference. Our approach empowers children to not just read words — but to understand, express, and communicate.

Why We Combine Montessori + Synthetic Phonics

Montessori to Phonics Philosophy

We begin with tactile, sensory-rich letter-work (e.g. sandpaper letters, tracing) to build letter-sound awareness and fine-motor readiness. Once children are comfortable with letter shapes and sounds, we introduce systematic phonics for decoding and writing — giving them tools to read independently and confidently.
Research Supporting Phonics

Yes. Explicit, systematic phonics instruction has been shown to significantly improve early reading, decoding accuracy, spelling, and comprehension — more than non-systematic or no phonics instruction.

Balanced Literacy Experience

Not when applied within a balanced, multisensory, child-friendly curriculum. Children don't just decode words — they explore language, write stories, play word games, build comprehension and creativity. Balanced literacy means decoding + meaning + joy.

What Learning Looks Like

We start with tactile Montessori sensorial work → add systematic phonics → progress to reading & writing fluency.

  • Sensorial introduction → letter shape, sound, tactile work
  • Phonics sequence teaching → blending, segmenting, spelling
  • Decodable reading + writing tasks
  • Vocabulary building + sentence creation
Children grow from letters → words → sentences → stories naturally.
