The Jolly Phonics programme is assisting Gr. R and Gr. 1 teachers in the Northern Cape after it was launched in May by the province’s Department of Education and Universal Learning Solutions, a not-for-profit organisation. It is based on the synthetic phonics method, which has been shown by various academic reports to improve English literacy levels, especially for children for whom English is a second language. The launch saw 650 teachers from across the five districts receiving two days’ training with Jolly Phonics resources, of which these teachers in Kimberley were but a few. Photo: Supplied
