Firstly, don't panic!
All the free resources, information and games that you are used to are
still available absolutely free just like they always were. However,
you now have the opportunity to subscribe to Phonicsplay and make the
whole Phonicsplay experience even better.
All the same pages and resources
from the free site (plus many more new resources) are now available
without the annoying adverts. Relax in the knowledge that children can
play the games without being bombarded by advertisers.
2 - Exclusive access to
the newest (and we think best yet) games
All new resources will initially
be made available to members only. The latest interactive games and
printables to be released, can only be viewed by subscribers. At least
two brand new resources will be released each month to subscribers only.
Over time, older resources will be moved onto the free areas of the
site but you may have to wait quite some time before this happens. Take
a look at the bottom of this page to see what is available at the moment.
Subscribe to get access to these resources right now.
3 - Lots of help with
the dreaded Phase 5
Many of the new games are
based around Phase 5. Phase 5 contains some of the trickiest subject
knowledge and is one of the hardest areas to keep filled with fun. As
a teacher, you can cut your preparation time to a minimum by signing
up. Just let Phonicsplay and your interactive whiteboard guide you and
your children through.
4 - Individual subscriptions
for only £10 per year (less than a nice cup of coffee per month)
Your login and password
allows you to access to all the new resources and ad free areas for
one year.
Teachers - As an individual
user you are very welcome to use Phonicsplay on your home or classroom
PC (and share it with your class using an interactive whiteboard) but
please don't share your login details with anyone else.
Parents - Sign up
as an individual user and you and your family can access the site without
worrying about any annoying adverts. You do not need a separate subscription
for each family member and you may sign up from different computers
(for example if you go on holiday) but please make sure that your login
details are only used to access the site from one computer at a time.
5 - Get everyone to join
the fun (and raise standards) - Whole School Subscriptions for only
£100 per year
The more people in your school
using Phonicsplay, the more fun children (and teachers) will be having
and the more learning will be going on. Fun isn't an optional extra
in phonics teaching. Quality phonics teaching has to be fast, fun and
systematic or it simply doesn't work. My experience of training teachers
and supporting schools has taught me that in just about every primary
classroom (even in Y5 and Y6) there are children in need of help with
their phonics. Feedback from teachers is that they too would invariably
like much more support with teaching phonics. Phonics has the power
to turn schools around and it has the power to turn children's lives
around. Sign your school up today and get everybody involved. Your login
and password allows up to 35 people to access the site from the school
at any time (ie several classes could be playing games on their interactive
whiteboards whilst another class of children are all accessing a game
in the computer suite).
6 - Support the Phonicsplay
site
The site has grown in popularity
more than I could have ever guessed or hoped for. This has been a wonderful
surprise but has meant that costs (both financial costs and time costs)
have increased. By subscribing, you are supporting the site to continue
growing, developing and improving. If you have found the site useful
and enjoyable, please consider subscribing.
7 - Payments are handled
securely by PayPal
To ensure your security,
all payments will be handled by PayPal. Credit and debit card details
will never be made known to us here at Phonicsplay. Please note, there
is no need to sign up for a PayPal account if you do not wish to. Simply
find the section on the PayPal page that is headed "Don't have a
Paypal account?" to pay by debit or credit card.
