Each month, we here at Red Cat Reading bring you the best new resources for learning to read for FREE! Learning to read can get stale when you’re reading and watching the same educational videos and lessons over and over. Red Cat Reading brings new phonics videos, reading and writing lessons, and educational songs every week!
This month, we’ve shared more than 13 brand new videos that have all been designed to help children learn to read in the fastest and simplest way possible. From Phonics Time with Masa and Junya, to Magicio and Friends, learning phonics has never been more exciting! There’s always something fun and new to try.
1. Magicio and Phonics
Children can enjoy singing, dancing, and learning phonics with Magicio the clown in his A-Z Fun Phonics series! Learn how to read each letter of the alphabet one-by-one with Magicio. Learning to read is easy with Magicio, because he sings a fun song for each letter and even makes a special balloon animal or toy.

In Magicio’s Y video, watch and learn to use a fun toy that starts with the letter “y”.
In Magicio’s Z video, Magicio introduces us to a black and white animal that starts with the letter “z”.
To finish up the Magicio and Phonics series, we’ve put together a special collection of all of Magicio’s phonics videos, from A to Z! Children can watch this video as a great way to review the letters they’ve learned with our friend, Magicio.

This month, we loved learning the Vowels of the Alphabet with Magicio and his friends. Magicio taught us how to read each vowel, “a”, “e”, “i”, “o”, “u”, with a catchy song, dance, and balloons!
Let’s not forget that we also had lots of fun clapping our hands, stomping our feet, blowing a kiss, and shouting “hooray!” with the If You’re Happy and You Know It song. This video gives children the chance to sing along and try fun actions and gestures. It’s the perfect song for when you want to get your body moving!

3. Phonics Time with Masa and Junya
Another Red Cat Reading all-star is our series Phonics Time with Masa and Junya. Masa is a skilled teacher with years of experience helping young children learn to read for the first time. Junya is his young son who is very eager to learn phonics, reading, and writing with his dad. Together, they learn one letter at a time, and to make learning phonics even easier, they’ve put the letters into groups by difficulty. By grouping letters this way, you can be sure you’re learning the right phonics in the right order, without feeling overwhelmed. So sit down with Masa and Junya to learn how to pronounce each letter’s phonetic sound, read, and write!
