Welcome to Tilly Tales

Learning to read is a big adventure—and teaching someone to read can feel just as big.

 

You might remember learning phonics from your own childhood, or maybe it feels like a distant blur. And even if you do remember, the English language is full of twists, turns, and exceptions to the rules. That can make it tricky to know how to help your little human take their first steps with confidence.​​​​

  • 1-Minute Story Scripts: No experience needed. Set the stage effortlessly with a quick, playful intro.
     

  • Print & Play: Print the activity, and jump right into a playful lesson.

Set 1: M, A, D, S, T

​

Simple tools to support your child’s first steps into reading.

Teaching letters shouldn't feel like a heavy lesson. Set 1 gives you the first 5 foundational sounds and an easy way to guide them at your own pace.

  • Bite-sized guidance: Easy sound guides, 1-minute scripts, and kinetic movements delivered in small, digestible amounts.
