Learn English as a second language (ESL) with our online phonics program.
English language learners (ELL) learn to read, spell and pronounce words.
English is a phonetic language – letters represent sounds. It is critical for English Language Learners (ELL) or students who are learning English as a Second Language (ESL) to learn the relationship between letters and the sounds they represent. Our program starts at the most fundamental level by teaching the sounds represented by the individual letters of the English alphabet.
Gradually additional information is introduced – short vowel sounds, consonant blends, consonant teams, rules governing syllable division, and rules that identify the basic syllable patterns of English. Students learn to read and spell and pronounce one-syllable words and then two, three, four, five and six syllable words are introduced.

Students hear every word in our online program pronounced clearly and repeatedly. Students after hearing the words pronounced, then spell those same words. This process of first reading words accurately, then reading the words fluently, and finally spelling the words is a systematic, structured and proven method to teach the underlying foundation skills of English phonics. By mastering English phonics, students will quickly be able to learn to read, write and comprehend in English. English phonics is the core, foundation skill necessary for ESL students to master in order to be able to achieve success in learning English as a Second Language!
Most ESL programs do no teach English phonics in a thorough and comprehensive manner and instead teach English phonics in an arbitrary, hit-and-miss fashion. Our program is effective because we present our phonics instruction in a tightly-sequenced, systematic manner, and we teach English phonics in its entirety. Students need to start at the beginning and learn the entire English phonics code or else they will have critical gaps in their understanding of the relationship between letters and sounds in English.
Phonics is a skill and requires a great deal of practice to master. Our online program makes it possible for students to work as long as is necessary in any given lesson to gain mastery before proceeding to more advanced lessons. Many ESL classes are crowded; sometimes classes are not even available. Students find it difficult and/or expensive to receive the one-to-one, intensive instruction necessary to gain mastery. Our online program solves this dilemma by making it possible for an individual to learn and practice English reading and spelling skills at home with our online program. Subscribing to our online program is like hiring a full-time reading specialist available to work with you individually at school or at home twenty-four hours a day/seven days a week. Our online reading and phonics program really does work by providing a critical foundation in phonics for individuals who are learning English as a Second Language!
