Jolly Phonics (4-5 years old and 5-6 years old) – Jolly Phonics is a program based on the proven, fun, and multi-sensory synthetic phonics method that gets children reading and writing from an early age. This means that we teach letter sounds as opposed to the alphabet. These 42 letter sounds are phonetic building blocks that children, with the right tools, use to decode the English language.
Assessment – The approach to successfully assessing young learners is to capture observations. Teachers collect, collate, and store information in a systematic and meaningful way.
