Pre-Primary Faculty Development

In order to stay up to date and with a renewed sense of purpose, a ‘Jolly Phonics’ training session was held for the teachers of the Pre-Primary department from 2 to 7 June, 2021.
The five-day session was conducted by a staff member of the Pre-Primary department of SJBHS - Ms Maanvi who says that Jolly Phonics makes reading and writing easy for children if taught correctly from the beginning.
The session started with how multiple senses are used while teaching each sound with a story, sound, action, song, letter formation and sound recognition and dictation. This fun and child-centred approach speeds up the reading and writing skills of children. An insight into how to teach tricky words to the children by means of ‘look, copy, cover, write and check’ was also provided.
