Is There a Better Way Than Just Phonics?

The method of phonics has long been used for teaching young kids how to read. It assists children in learning sounds and linking them to make words. But now, many parents and teachers are seeing something new — a method that goes beyond just reading. It helps kids become fast at both reading and maths.

This new way is helping children become smarter, quicker, and more confident. It’s turning shy learners into excited ones. And it’s turning everyday kids into something amazing — a counting whiz.

What Makes This Method So Different?

While phonics is great for reading, it doesn’t help much with maths. Many children who can read still struggle with numbers. That’s where this new way is different. It mixes reading with counting, solving, and smart thinking.

Children aged 4 to 14 are learning how to read and calculate at the same time. It saves time, builds brain power, and makes learning fun.

For example, instead of only learning the letter “t” says “tuh,” kids now also learn how to count “ten turtles” or “twenty toys.” They don’t just sound out the word — they understand what it means and how many that is.

Smart Kids Use Both Words and Numbers

This new learning style teaches children to use both sides of their brain. They don’t just read — they think, count, and understand. They can look at a number word like “forty-seven” and say it, read it, and break it into 40 + 7 in seconds.

That’s what makes them a counting whiz. They learn smart tricks for fast maths and quick reading — all in one place.

Phonics Alone May Not Be Enough

Phonics is still good. It helps children begin their reading journey. But it may not be enough for today’s world. Children need more than just reading. They need to solve problems, think fast, and understand numbers deeply.

In many schools in Singapore, the UK, Dubai, and  India, parents are now choosing this new method because it teaches life skills, not just letter sounds. Kids don’t get bored. They feel excited because they’re learning faster than ever before.

Fun Tools That Make Kids Want to Learn

This method uses games, number stories, flashcards, and small daily activities. Children learn while playing. They count snacks, match words with numbers, solve puzzles, and sing learning songs.

They don’t even realise they’re studying — but they’re getting better every single day.

Even kids who once said, “I don’t like maths,” are now smiling as they solve sums. They’re proud. They’re quick. They’re becoming confident learners.

Every Child Can Be a Counting Whiz

No matter the age — 4 or 14 — every child can learn this way. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about making small steps every day. With just 20 minutes daily, children can change how they think, read, and count.

Parents are amazed. Teachers are impressed. And kids are proud of themselves.

So, if you want to give your child more than just phonics, give them this new way of learning. Let them grow into a happy, smart, and speedy counting whiz.
