With something as simple as a letter sound, children need a ‘hook’ to remember it. Repetition is not enough. By giving a story, that leads to an action, where the letter sound is spoken, children quickly remember – and find it fun. Jolly Phonics is rigorous in teaching step by step. As more is taught so the storybooks follow the teaching. It is all within the children’s reach. They are all able to make swift progress.

He has actively promoted Jolly Phonics around the world visiting over 100 countries in doing so. He has been awarded Honorary Doctorates from the University of Uyo (in Nigeria) and from Bristol University. He was awarded an OBE by HM the King in May 2024.
