Featured Books
Mathematics — Grade 5
Each module opens with a clear concept summary, followed by structured daily activities, revision, and a test. Pharos Maths goes beyond CAPS requirements.
Natural Science — Grade 6
Activities, revision questions, and YouTube video links are included to make lessons engaging for both teacher and learner.
Phonics — Foundation Phase
Built on a phonetic reading programme — children learn to read by sounding out letters and combinations already taught, not through sight-word memorisation.
