Citizen Literacy - New Phonics App

There are over six million people of working age in the UK who struggle with their reading and writing skills – about 15 percent of the population. Citizen Literacy has developed an innovative phonics app to help adults learn to read and write, which is supported by tutor resources and materials.

Lessons 1 to 5 are now available on Google Play and the Apple App Store The lessons include voice and handwriting recognition exercises, and video clips highlighting useful hints and tips about how to improve literacy skills.

Please visit our Test and Feedback page where you will find more information about how to use the app and tutor resources to support adult learners in the workplace.

We would be grateful if you could share these links with your members and wider networks.
