Phonics is the teaching of letter sounds - a as in 'ant', not A as in 'ape'. It is also the teaching of phonological awareness. These are the underlying skills which enable children to apply their knowledge of sounds (phonics) to reading words and sentences.Unfortunately, like so many small businesses, the pandemic has forced us to adapt to a 'new normal'. Therefore, from the start of 2022 our classes will no longer operate in the same format as they have done for the past 11 years. We will continue to teach as individuals but our Jolly Readers classes will no longer be available. If you are looking for support for your child whether it be learning their sounds as a pre-schooler or having extra support once they have started at school, then please do get in touch as we might still be able to offer you what you are looking for. |
