Part 1 of Intensive Jolly Phonics 2-Day Training

Contents of the Workshop:

In day 1 of this two day workshop, we take an in depth look at the best way to teach synthetic phonics systematically with the Jolly Phonics curriculum. We will cover:

• The historical teaching methods of reading and writing
• what synthetic phonics is and how it compares to other methods of teaching reading and writing
• the 5 skills that students must master in order to begin reading
• the stories and gestures that support learning the letter sounds
• Practical activity ideas for practicing with students and at home

Participants will also practice demonstration lessons where they will act as teachers in groups of 2-3, practice model Jolly Phonics lessons and give feedback to each other. The accredited Jolly Phonics trainer will also give feedback to participants about what they are doing well in the lessons, and what they should change to make Jolly Phonics more effective in their teaching to make sure that everyone is ready to use what they learn in this workshop with their students the following week!

** Samples of Jolly Phonics will be on display with some materials available for purchase on the day. **
