This self-paced on-line course looks
at how children learn to read and how phonics underpins
this process. You will be introduced to the basics
of phonics teaching and successful
approaches that can be utilised. Programmes
that utilise the synthetic phonics approach are examined
along with the links between phonics and spelling.
You will also become familiar with the findings of
some major recent reports into how children learn
to read.
We are delighted to announce that following the outstanding
success of our Jolly Phonics course for Irish teachers,
Chris Jolly, Sue Lloyd and the team at Jolly Phonics
are working with us to further develop this course
for international delivery.

The on-line format of the course enables
you to study when and where you want
to learn. Content is divided into 5 modules
which you can complete in any order between
July 1st and August 28th 2009.
Participants are encouraged to interact with
one another using the communication tools (forum,
chat, e-mail) provided by the CPD College learning
system. Active facilitation throughout the course
provides expert interaction, guidance and feedback
for all participants. Assignments and questions
which call for critical reflection, self-analysis
and a reasoned response punctuate this highly
interactive web based course.
