Jolly Phonics Workshop

Step 1

This introductory workshop provides a practical look at Step 1 of the Jolly Phonics program.

The workshop demonstrates how to introduce the 42 main sounds of English to students in their first term at school and for those older students requiring additional literacy support.
This training session will examine:

Features of systematic synthetic phonics
The role of phonological awareness
An overview of a synthetic phonics lesson
Learning the letter sounds
Letter Formation
Blending
Segmenting
Tricky words

The workshop will provide many practical ‘hands on’ activities that you can use to compliment the Jolly Phonics program and to engage students in the classroom.

Jolly Phonics Workshop

Step 2 & 3

Pre-requisite: Jolly Phonics - Step 1

This session provides an overview of continuing the Jolly Phonics throughout the Reception year or for those students requiring additional literacy support.
This training session will examine:

Alternative spellings
Spelling strategies
Structuring the literacy block
The role of decodable texts
Assessment and data collection
Jolly Phonics for the interactive whiteboard software

The workshop will also provide many practical resources designed to support your teaching and to motivate and engage students.

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 spelling
Consonants, vowels, alternative spellings of the vowel sounds, syllables, schwa, prefixes, suffixes, base words and word origins
Spelling principles to support student understanding
The 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 Grammar
Parts of speech, proof reading, punctuation, vocabulary and word choice to support clear and effective communication
Practical ideas and experiences to compliment the teaching grammar across year levels.

Testimonials

Kaurna Plains School :

"In 2019 our school began its journey to improve reading by embedding a consistent, synthetic phonics program into our daily literacy block. The training, provided by SPELD SA, has played an integral role in increasing staff capacity to confidently and effectively teach our students to read. In 2020 and 2021 Sandy, along with other expert trainers at SPELD SA, delivered Jolly Phonics and Jolly Grammar training across our site. The training was interactive, hands-on, and extremely engaging and the passion and enthusiasm in which it was delivered, was contagious! Sandy provided our teachers with the strategies and the understanding needed to effectively implement the programs.

The impact the programs have had in our classrooms has been significant. Strategies from the training have been implemented throughout reception to year 6 and have given students the fundamental capabilities they need to decode. Additionally, there has been significant growth in our student literacy data and most notably in our Phonics Screening Check Data.

Finally, we loved how easy going and flexible SPELD SA were to work with and how they were more than willing to tailor their programs and training to suit our needs. Our site would highly recommend the trainings provided by SPELD SA."
