First School (1 - 2 Years Old)
The first step begins within your school, where students participate alongside peers to showcase their skills, build confidence, and get introduced to the Olympiad format in a familiar environment.
The International Phonics Olympiad has been advancing early literacy since 2018, even before NEP 2020 emphasized Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN). Our approach focuses on applied phonics—helping children not just read, but understand, analyze, and communicate effectively in real-world contexts.
We strengthen a child’s ability to understand and use language effectively, focusing on vocabulary development, listening skills, pronunciation, and communication.
We develop critical thinking through language by helping children analyze, interpret, and apply phonics knowledge in meaningful and logical ways.
Aligned with NEP 2020, our approach strengthens foundational literacy and encourages competency-based learning through applied phonics and structured assessments. By focusing on phonological awareness, verbal aptitude, and reasoning, IPO directly contributes to NEP 2020's goal of ensuring foundational literacy and higher cognitive skills by Grade 3.
How We Stand Apart
Not all Olympiads are designed the same. While most focus on vocabulary and grammar, IPO goes deeper—building phonics, reasoning, and applied language skills to develop true understanding, not just memorization.
