It may include revising some of the basic principles of the Jolly Phonics program to ensure a consistent understanding and approach amongst staff to ensure the highest results can be achieved. A question and answer time is incorporated into the session to discuss topics such as classroom organization, examine resources, assessment tools and to clarify areas of concern for your site.

Jolly Grammar builds upon the skills taught in Jolly Phonics. The program provides a systematic and sequential approach to teaching Spelling and Grammar for Years One to Six.
Due to the range of year levels and extensive content involved in the Jolly Grammar program, our workshops have been deliberately structured to focus on the Spelling and Grammar elements separately to ensure a greater depth of understanding for participants.
Training in Jolly Phonics is a pre-requisite to this program.
Jolly Grammar Workshop – Spelling
Spelling should be an exercise in logic, problem solving and discovering patterns rather than merely memorising weekly spelling lists. Students should be active participants provided with opportunities to discover patterns, form generalisations and knowledge that can be transferred to spell a range of words.
This training session will examine:
A synthetic phonics approach to teaching reading and spellingConsonants, vowels, alternative spellings of the vowel sounds, syllables, schwa, prefixes, suffixes, base words and word originsSpelling principles to support student understandingThe role of spelling lists and dictation
Practical activities and resources to compliment the spelling program
Jolly Grammar Workshop - Grammar
An understanding of grammar supports students to become capable communicators, use a wider vocabulary and have a clearer understanding of how language works. The most dramatic improvement from the Jolly Grammar program will be found in the quality of student writing as they become familiar with the role of grammatical features and different types of words and word groups to convey information and represent their ideas.
This training session will examine:
The sequential and cumulative framework of Jolly GrammarParts of speech, proof reading, punctuation, vocabulary and word choice to support clear and effective communicationPractical ideas and experiences to compliment the teaching grammar across year levels.
