“Thank you Jolly Phonics for this amazing programme – you made teaching much easier and fun for students to grasp at a very young age. I’ve been teaching for about 10 years now and this is by far the best method for teaching students to read and write. You notice the improvement with every step.”

Teacher at Ishraq Kindergarten
"Jolly Classroom has been a saviour to me. Having lessons and activities ready to go saves so much time and allows me to channel my energy into other areas. The content of Jolly Classroom activities aligns perfectly with the planning documents that have been created and very importantly, the children engage very positively with the delivery through the IWB."

"What I like most about the resources is the app that you download on your phone because it’s a tool you can use in the classroom and that parents can use at home. This means that what you teach in the class is being consolidated at home further."
Joslyn Peterson
Teacher at Bottelary Primary School, South Africa
"The Jolly Phonics program has been a cornerstone of our English language instruction for over a decade. The positive outcomes speak for themselves. Our students now enter Grade 1 with a solid foundation in English, and teachers and students appreciate the engaging and effective nature of the programs."
