About us
A brand built on one belief: confident teachers create confident readers
Phonics Ki Pathshala exists to make structured phonics teaching simple, practical and joyful — for the teacher at the front of the room and the child learning to read.
Our story
How Phonics Ki Pathshala began
Alka Gupta Sawant started Phonics Ki Pathshala with a simple observation: children were being asked to read English without ever being taught how English works.
Her answer was a structured phonics programme for teachers — one that shows them exactly what to teach, in what order, and how to help a struggling reader without losing the class.
Today the brand supports teachers, tutors, pre-primary schools and parents who want children to read with understanding and spell with confidence.
Our mission
To empower every teacher to teach phonics with confidence, and to help children develop strong English reading and spelling skills through structured, systematic instruction.
Our vision
A generation of children who read with understanding and spell with confidence — supported by teachers, schools and parents who know exactly how to help them get there.
What guides us
Four principles behind everything we build
These shape our training, our books and the way we support schools and franchise partners.
Teacher-first
When teachers feel confident, every child in the room benefits. We invest first in the adult in front of the class.
Structured & systematic
Sounds are taught in a deliberate order, with blending and spelling built in step by step — not left to chance.
Practical, not theoretical
Everything we teach can be used in tomorrow's lesson: real routines, real materials, real classroom language.
Early foundations matter
Strong reading and spelling in the pre-primary years change how a child learns for the rest of their schooling.
