Making 'Letter Sounds' and 'Phonics' fun for everyone
Helping your child learn to read can feel daunting. The Magic Alpha-belt breaks phonics into seven unique stages (our 7E framework), guiding children step by step from first sounds at age 3 to confident, independent reading at 6+.
The Magic Alpha‑Belt is built around the 7E Learning Stages; a step‑by‑step phonics path designed for children aged 3 to 6+. It supports early readers at home, in nursery, and at school through a flexible, multisensory approach. Each stage builds on the last, helping children move from first sounds to confident, independent reading.
