At Little Grasshopper, we’ve always believed that literacy is more than just a skill — it’s a gateway to confidence, creativity, and lifelong learning. But just as children grow and evolve, so too must the teachers guiding them. In today’s ever-changing educational landscape, the ability to adapt and refine literacy strategies is not optional — it’s essential.
That’s why we place such a strong emphasis on teaching teachers to teach. It’s not just about delivering content; it’s about cultivating educators who feel empowered, equipped, and ready to support readers at every stage. And the secret ingredient? Continuous Professional Development (CPD).
In this blog, we’ll explore the vital role CPD plays in literacy education, especially as it relates to phonics instruction. From embracing new methodologies to using technology to personalize learning, CPD ensures that literacy educators are always one step ahead — and never standing still.
When it comes to literacy, yesterday’s best practices can quickly become outdated. New research, changing student demographics, and the rise of phonics teaching online mean that educators need constant upskilling to remain effective.
Whether you’re delivering phonics English classes in person or offering phonics classes at home through a digital platform, you need tools that reflect the latest understanding of how children learn to read. CPD empowers teachers to:
In short, it’s the difference between teaching what you know and knowing what you teach.
Traditional literacy instruction often relied heavily on rote memorization and rigid lesson plans. But literacy is dynamic — and so must be the teaching behind it.
At Little Grasshopper, our phonics online course and teacher training course online are built around the philosophy that effective reading instruction must be:
Through CPD, educators learn to move beyond static methods and into fluid, adaptive teaching that meets students where they are — whether that’s in a classroom, on a video call, or in a cosy reading corner at home.
We often say that our true mission at Little Grasshopper isn’t just to teach phonics — it’s teaching teachers to teach phonics. And that means investing in CPD every step of the way.
Here’s how we do it:
Our phonics certification course is not just another online class. It’s an immersive journey designed to mirror real classroom experiences. From decoding strategies to diagnostic assessments, teachers explore every facet of literacy instruction in a way that feels practical and personal.
We understand that every teacher has a different schedule and learning pace. That’s why our online training for teachers is fully flexible. Whether you’re preparing for your first year of teaching or refining your tenth, our modules adapt to your needs.
Our programs are not just about ticking boxes. We guide teachers to reflect on their own practice, observe others through real classroom videos, and receive mentorship from experienced literacy leaders. Every CPD journey with us is grounded in community.
The beauty of CPD is that it doesn’t just change what teachers know — it changes what children experience. Here’s what that transformation looks like in real learning environments:
From Isolation to Integration
Teachers trained in our phonics online course learn how to embed phonics instruction into every part of the day. That might mean decoding science vocabulary, breaking apart tricky math words, or playing rhyming games during snack time.
The result? Students begin to see phonics as a tool they can use anywhere — not just a subject on their timetable.
From One-Size-Fits-All to Differentiated Support
CPD helps teachers identify where each child is on their literacy journey. Whether it’s customizing phonics and reading classes for advanced decoders or offering extra support for struggling readers, our training teaches educators to meet each child with the right support.
This kind of differentiation is essential in phonics classes at home, where siblings or home-education pods often span multiple skill levels.
From Passive Learning to Active Engagement
Modern literacy instruction should be active, joyful, and filled with discovery. Teachers who engage in ongoing training are more likely to use movement, music, visuals, and games to bring phonics to life. Even in phonics teaching online, we show educators how to harness digital tools for maximum student engagement.
The pandemic may have accelerated the shift to digital classrooms, but the demand for phonics classes online and phonics English classes has only grown. And so has the need for teachers to adapt quickly and effectively.
Here’s how our CPD programs are shaping the future of online literacy education:
Tech-Savvy Teaching
From using virtual manipulatives to setting up digital sound walls, we train teachers to use online tools in ways that are both purposeful and playful.
Building Relationships Remotely
One challenge of phonics teaching online is maintaining that teacher-student connection. Through CPD, we equip educators with strategies to foster trust, motivation, and communication — even through a screen.
Creating Home-Based Literacy Environments
Parents are partners in learning, especially for families choosing phonics classes at home. Our training empowers educators to support parents with take-home kits, printable resources, and mini-lesson guides — so learning never stops at the doorway.
For many teachers, earning a phonics certification course credential isn’t just about career advancement — it’s about validation. It shows they’ve put in the work, gained practical skills, and are ready to lead literacy instruction with confidence.
At Little Grasshopper, we take this certification seriously. Our programs are rigorous but rewarding, and each certificate represents:
We believe this certification is more than a badge — it’s a signal to schools, parents, and students that the teacher in front of them is committed to literacy excellence.
One of the biggest myths in education is that teacher training ends after qualification. In reality, great teachers never stop learning.
Our teacher training course online is just the beginning. We offer ongoing workshops, refresher modules, and alumni support to keep our educators connected and growing.
It’s this commitment to lifelong learning that fuels our mission. Because when we invest in teachers, we invest in the future of literacy.
In a world where teaching is evolving rapidly, continuous professional development is no longer optional. It’s the bridge between intention and impact. It’s how we move from teaching phonics to inspiring readers.
At Little Grasshopper, we’re committed to:
If you’re ready to deepen your skills, transform your teaching, and become the educator every child deserves, we invite you to join our community.
