„The Jolly Phonics course was a very valuable investment.

Thank you, Vierka, for bringing such a great and systematic programme to Slovakia.

The course helped me understand how the whole system works and how to introduce English reading to my 5-year-old daughter step by step, at a native-like level.

I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand how to read or teach reading in English properly.”

Edita

“Vierka is an exceptional person – kind, calm, and with a vast amount of practical experience. Training with her was a joy. Jolly Phonics covers the entire journey to literacy up to the C1 level. I have been teaching English for 20 years, but only now do I feel fully competent to teach. The authors, Sara Wernham and Sue Lloyd, thought of every detail.

I see a great benefit in inclusion, as the well-designed progression allows all children to participate regardless of their pace, needs, or language background.

As someone who loves creativity, I truly appreciate that this method naturally supports it – thanks to its simple yet solid structure, it gives teachers the freedom to create while ensuring that children are making progress.

It would be wonderful if all children in Slovakia could learn through stories. I highly recommend it.”

O NÁSWhat is
Jolly Phonics

Jolly Phonics is a method of teaching English based on sounds (phonemes). Children learn through movement, songs, pictures, and stories – engaging all their senses. This helps them acquire new vocabulary and pronunciation naturally and with enjoyment.

WHO IS IT FORWho is it for?

Kindergarten and primary school teachers

The Jolly Phonics method helps teachers guide children to reading and writing systematically through sounds, rather than memorization. Thanks to its clear structure, it supports each child’s individual pace and naturally integrates into the modern curriculum, which we further develop through innovative training for educators.

Language schools and centres

The programme provides a comprehensive framework for teaching English at an early age, integrating speaking, listening, and reading. It enables language schools to establish a consistent methodological approach and improve the quality of teaching across instructors.

Tutors and instructors

Jolly Phonics provides practical procedures that help deliver lessons with confidence, even without years of teaching experience. Tutors gain tools to explain the language clearly and respond to the diverse needs of children.

Parents of children learning English

The method is easy to understand for parents who want to support their children at home without pressure on performance. It shows how to work with sounds and words in a natural, playful way that aligns with a child’s development.
