Does This Sound Familiar?

Your child can sing the alphabet song perfectly.

They can point to A and say "A." They know B is "B."

But when you put those letters together in a simple word like "cat"...

They look at C-A-T and say: "See... Ay... Tee."

And no matter how many times you say "blend it together," — they can't.

Because "See-Ay-Tee" doesn't sound like "cat."

So what do they do instead?

They guess.

They look at the picture. They see a cat. So they say "cat." Or "dog." Or "car." Because they're not actually reading — they're memorising and guessing.

"I had taught him the names of the letters instead of the sounds. He was struggling, and I didn't know why. That's when I realised — we were teaching him the wrong thing." 

— Ore, parent

Here's the truth most parents don't know:

Teaching your child the NAMES of the letters

is delaying their ability to read.

The English language has thousands of words. How many can your child actually memorise?

We don't want memorisers. We want reading detectives.

There's a Better Way

What if your child could look at any word — even one they've never seen before — and decode it?

What if instead of guessing, they had a system to "crack the code" of reading?

That's exactly what synthetic phonics does.

Here's the secret:

When your child sees the letter C, they don't need to know it's called "See."

They need to know it makes the sound "cuh."

When they see A, it's not "Ay" — it's "a" as in apple.

When they see T, it's "tuh."

Now put those sounds together: "cuh... a... tuh." Blend them smoothly...

"Cat."

That's it. That's how reading actually works.

And once your child understands this — once they see that every word is just a code they can crack — reading becomes a superpower.

Meet Your Host: Lara Okpor

Before I started Ant Learning, I was exactly where you are now.

A first-time mum. My son was three. And I had no idea what to do with him.

I knew he was about to start proper school. I wanted to prepare him. But I didn't know how.

So I asked a friend with older children: "What should I be doing?"

And she said two words that changed everything: "Teach him to read."

Within two weeks — TWO WEEKS — my son was looking at words on the bus, on signs, in the bathroom... and sounding them out. Everything he saw, he wanted to decode.

That moment of watching him discover that words could be unlocked... that's what led me into education.

Since then:

✓ Certified Reading Specialist

✓ 300+ children taught to read from scratch

✓ 10+ years in education

✓ Founder of Ant Learning

✓ Mum of two children (my son is now 15 and sitting his GCSEs!)

I've made it my mission to give other parents the clarity I wish I'd had. Because when you know what to do — when you have a proven system — helping your child read becomes simple.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is this webinar for?

This webinar is designed for parents of children aged 2-5 years old. Whether your child hasn't started learning yet, or they're already at school and struggling, you'll get value from this training. I cover age-specific guidance for each stage.

My child already knows their letters. Is this still relevant?

Absolutely — and this might be the most important webinar for you. If your child knows letter NAMES but struggles to blend words, that's exactly the problem we solve. You'll learn how to transition from names to sounds without confusing them.

I'm very busy. How long is the webinar?

The webinar is approximately 60-75 minutes, including live Q&A. If you can't make it live, register anyway — we'll send you the replay so you can watch at your convenience.

Is this just for UK parents?

No! We have parents joining from the US, Canada, and across the world. English is English — the sounds are the same. We're not teaching accent or intonation, we're teaching how to decode words. The method works everywhere.

My child can't sit still. Will this work for them?

This is one of the most common questions I get — and I address it directly in the webinar. Short attention spans are completely normal at this age. I'll show you how to build focus gradually using a simple technique that works.

Is this webinar really free?

Yes, 100% free. No credit card required. I run these webinars because I'm passionate about helping parents — the same way someone helped me when my son was three. At the end, I'll share how you can work with us if you want ongoing support, but there's no obligation.

What if I've already tried teaching my child and it's not working?

That's exactly why I created this webinar. Most parents are working hard but using the wrong method — through no fault of their own. Once you understand the "sounds first" approach, everything changes. I've seen children go from struggling to confident readers in weeks.
