About QFE

Clear, structured phonics support for early readers.

Quality First Education helps children build reading confidence through live teacher-led online phonics programmes, one-to-one assessment and structured home-learning workbooks.

Who QFE helps

QFE is designed for parents of early readers who want a clear and supportive phonics route. This includes home-educating families, internationally based families and children who benefit from calm, carefully structured teaching.

Families do not need to know their child's exact phase before getting started. The phonics assessment offers a practical first step when the right level is uncertain.
