Phonics and reading
Date: 2006-06-04 11:10 am (UTC)A really good place to start finding out about phonics, especially the Jolly Phonics scheme, is the Times Educational Supplement (TES) website discussion board:

(Be warned - lots of off-duty teachers (and others) letting off steam and showing their human side!)
If you search for "charliemouse" you will discover many posts explaining the Jolly Phonics scheme and how it works in practice, written by a very keen and enthusiastic Early Years teacher.
One to start with:

If I ever have children this is how I will teach them.
Best wishes,
