Hey, teachers! 

When we need to teach literacy to kids, the combination of phonics and the whole language approach seems to work best. You know, the devil is in the details and teachers have lots of questions with phonics:

• What sounds do we start with? 
• Which ones do we move on to? 
• Which activities can we use? 
• Where do we get resources? 
• Is it possible to use resources / activities designed for children whose first language is English? 
• If we’re focusing on whole words and word shapes, which words should be our first choice? When do we start?

Join our master class 'Teaching Literacy to Young Learners' by Victoria Needham where we’re going to cover these questions and have a closer look at Jolly Phonics. This is a systematic phonics program designed to teach children to read and is currently used worldwide. 

You will get a better understanding of the progression through different sounds and specific techniques / activities / resources used to introduce sounds and tricky words. We’re going to touch upon the differences between teaching phonics as part of EAL and teaching phonics in ELT, to be able to get the best of both worlds.
