Our learning path

A complete English journey

Five levels, from first letter sounds to confident spelling. Each level builds on the one before it.

    Try a sample activity

    Listen, choose and learn

    Five short rounds from Level 2. Your child hears a word and taps the matching picture. Wrong answers get a gentle hint and another try. No sign-up needed.

      For parents

      Why parents choose Little English Academy

      Short, focused sessions that follow a clear phonics order, so you always know what your child is practising.

      • Structured phonics learning

        Sounds are taught in a set order, from single letters to blends and digraphs.

      • Interactive learning games

        Children listen, tap, build and spell, with instant feedback on every answer.

      • Progressive practice

        Activities get gradually harder within each level, and any activity can be repeated.

      • Learning progress tracking

        See which activities are finished and how each one went.

      • Child-friendly interface

        Large tap targets, calm colours, no ads and no links that lead away from learning.

      About us

      A confident start in English

      Little English Academy is a phonics programme for children aged 4 to 8, made with Malaysian families in mind. Children learn the sounds behind the letters first, then use them to read and spell real words.

      Questions parents ask

      What age is this for?

      Children aged 4 to 8. Younger children usually start at Level 1 (Letter Sounds); children who already know their letter sounds can start at Level 2.

      Where is my child's progress saved?

      On the device and browser your child uses. It is not synchronised between devices, and clearing the browser's site data removes it.

      How does the listening activity speak the words?

      It uses your device's built-in voice. If your browser has no voice available, the word is shown as text instead.

      When can I buy the full programme?

      Paid plans open once accounts and secure payment are in place. Until then, the free activities are open to everyone.
