JOLLY PHONICS METHOD

This year course I'm planning to do phonics once a week with my students. Looking for one specific and clear methodology I've asked one of my friends in Gloria Fuertes (Alzira), Vanessa is teaching Infant education there and she says the method is quite good. Their 3yo students are doing this 80% of the weekly time. It's not my case, but my students are older than hers. So I'm doing some Courses by the CEFIRE and we will see how it works.
Here you have some more information about this native methodology for reading and learning English.

Basically the students learn phonics with an easy way, through songs, rhymes, tricks, books and workshops.

This is the information provided by the web:

"How does Jolly Phonics work?

Using a synthetic phonics approach, Jolly Phonics teaches children the five key skills for reading and writing. The programme continues through school enabling the teaching of essential grammar, spelling and punctuation skills.

The five skills taught in Jolly Phonics

1.Learning the letter sounds

Children are taught the 42 main letter sounds. This includes alphabet sounds as well as digraphs such as sh, th, ai and ue.

2.Learning letter formation

Using different multi-sensory methods, children learn how to form and write the letters.

3.Blending

Children are taught how to blend the sounds together to read and write new words.

4.Identifying the sounds in words (Segmenting)

Listening for the sounds in words gives children the best start for improving spelling.

5.Tricky words

Tricky words have irregular spellings and children learn these separately."
