A Workshop on Phonics

Reading is essential for a child’s success. Since the beginning of childhood parents and teachers start to train their children to read. All too often, the barriers faced by children, who find difficulty in reading, prove a hurdle in their desire to read and, without proper guidance; they can never overcome this hesitation.

Learning to read is a sequential process; each new skill builds on the mastery of previously learned skills. To build a strong base in reading, Jolly Phonics is a highly successful and effective method of early years. Jolly Phonics is a fun and child centered approach for teaching literacy through synthetic phonics.

In order to equip our teachers at Lawrence College, with this multisensory approach we invited a professional trainer Mrs. Sadaf Asif from Islamabad. She conducted a three days’ workshop from 6^th to 8^th of April 2018. All the teachers of Junior School and English teachers of Prep School attended the workshop. These sessions were very colourful, interactive and lively. Our teachers lauded the new technique and the comfortable style of the resource person.
