MagicReader accelerates your childs English reading through interactive, phonics based activities, five minute video lessons and magical stories.

Interactive Phonics Activities

- Research shows that interactive activities increase children’s retention of targeted learning material.

- The activities in the MagicReader allow children to drag and drop letters and words on to the related sounds or pictures, strengthening the grapheme, phoneme connection as well as meaning.

- This quickly improves the readers segmentation and blending skills, allowing them to code and de-code with confidence.

- The activities include: phoneme and grapheme introduction, digraphs, matching pictures with words.

Five Minute Energetic Video Lessons

- The MagicReader has five minutes video lessons for each stage (11 stages in total) of the systematic phonics system.

- The video lessons are taught by experienced teachers who are focused on teaching phonics.

- The video lessons are short, fun, energetic and interactive and are designed to engage and maximise learning. Ideal for home learning.

- Lessons include: introducing the phonemes and graphemes, using sound buttons to read, spotting nonsense and real words, learning how to write simple captions, how to correct spelling mistakes.

Magic Phonic Stories

- Each phonics stage also contains its own magic stories. Following the adventures of Meg and Max, a sister(older) and brother wizard ing team, as they learn magic and reading.

- The stories are matched with the target learning areas for each stage. Providing an opportunity for children to read material in the stage that they are currently learning.

- The stories also have accompanying audio (British accent), so that children can listen along and practice their pronunciation.

Inter-Related Structured Content

- The activities, videos and stories are inter-related. Giving the children lots of focused content which quickly consolidates their learning for each stage.

"I’ve been going through each level with my four year old son. The app breaks down the phonics and makes learning fun. He is currently on level 7 and he keeps checking his wizardy level to see how he is progressing."
