One journey. Three paths. A challenge for every learner.
LexPhonics
Step through the Secret Forest Gates and join Lex the Lynx on a systematic synthetic phonics journey — one sound, one story, one adventure at a time.
Every adventure begins with a single step.
Join Lex the Lynx as he steps through the Secret Forest Gates and discovers exciting new worlds filled with animal friends, challenges and adventures. Each story introduces a new sound through differentiated activities, helping young readers build confidence as they learn to blend, segment, read and spell at their own pace.
Following a systematic synthetic phonics approach, every chapter focuses on one target phoneme while providing carefully differentiated activities that allow every child to learn at their own pace.

The stories are designed to do more than practise phonics. They introduce narrative structure, broaden vocabulary and encourage curiosity, observation and thoughtful decision-making. Whether children are taking their very first steps into reading or exploring the many ways English can represent the same sound, every page encourages curiosity, confidence and a lifelong love of language.
Designed for mixed-attainment classrooms, multilingual learners, intervention groups and home learning, Lex Phonics provides meaningful challenge for every learner while keeping the whole class on the same learning journey.
