🏫 Maya at School 📚 Phonics, The Big World and Everyday English for Kids

About this episode

Maya learns phonics and explores the world in a school setting.

It is a school day, and Maya is ready to learn. She puts on her uniform, packs her bag, and walks into her classroom where her teacher greets her with a smile. First, Maya joins her phonics lesson. She sits on the carpet and learns new sounds — “B says buh” and “G says guh.” She repeats the sounds with her classmates and imagines a big gorilla as she learns new words. After lunch with her friends, Maya explores something even bigger. A colourful world map. She looks at different countries like Taiwan, India, Nigeria, Brazil, and Mexico, and begins to imagine children all around the world learning and playing, just like her. 👧 In this episode of Storytime with Maya, an audio stories podcast for kids aged 4 to 10, children learn English through stories and hear everyday English for kids used in real-life school situations — including phonics, classroom routines, and talking about the world around them. Through this calm and engaging story, children hear natural English used in daily school life, helping them build listening skills, recognise sounds, and understand simple vocabulary. Storytime with Maya shares audio stories and a podcast for kids that helps children learn English…
