Bright Phonics uses the scientifically supported Spaced Repetition learning technique to enable fast, efficient learning. With Bright Phonics you practice phonic skills with your child.

Depending on how your child answers you select from one of the three traffic light options: 'Yes', 'Yes with help' or 'Not yet'. Bright Phonics will then prompt your child to practice the phonemes they don't know more often and the ones they do know less often, reinforcing them strongly into their long-term memory.
