The Pattern Phonics™ System

With Little Reader, your child will not only learn to sight-read, but will also be guided to decode the written language in an intuitive manner using our Pattern Phonics™ system. Our system enables you to split words into syllables or "parts" - this will create a visually comprehensible way of showing pronunciation stress and highlight certain consonants, vowels and combinations!

The Pattern Phonics™ System

Children taught to read in babyhood have been known to develop an intuitive understanding of phonics. BrillKids' Pattern Phonics™ course is designed to facilitate and accelerate this natural process. To help the child with decoding, different colors are used within words, and when applied to the Pinyin-based Chinese Curriculum Phonics lessons, your child will learn to read pinyin and at the same time understand the four tones as well!
