About

Hemi kneeling with a picture book in his classroom

Hello, I'm Hemi

I'm Hemi. I teach years 2 and 3 at a primary school in Hamilton, and I have spent most of nine years on a rug with a picture book.

Parents kept asking what to do at home, so I started filming short read-alouds and phonics lessons after school. Now I make one a week, and write the letter on Sundays.

FAQ

Questions

What age is the course for?

Children aged five to eight, learning to read or just beginning to read on their own.

Do I need to be good at reading aloud?

No. The lessons show you what to do, and a quiet voice is fine.

How does the phonics pack arrive?

After checkout you get an email with a link to the PDF.

Can I use the pack in my classroom?

Yes, for your own class. Please send colleagues to the shop.
