Channel info

Run by: A BBC production, made by the same team behind Numberblocks — genuine broadcaster and curriculum backing.

Why we picked it: Curriculum-aligned phonics content vetted by an actual broadcaster, with zero ad-bait aesthetic.

Learning focus: Direct phonics teaching — letters visually combine and blend on-screen to sound out words, modeling letter-sound correspondence.

Two good starting points — the channel has plenty more if these land well with your child.

Did you know? Alphablocks characters are literally shaped like the letters they represent, a deliberate design choice to help pre-readers connect letter shapes with sounds.
