David Calia, Trainer in Guangdong China:

“On October 5th 2011, myself and my collegues from Go-Go English Educational Consulting Company were invited to take Jolly Phonics to a housing development event in Guangzhou city, Guangdong China.

It was a fantastic opportunity to speak with many people about education, our company and Jolly Phonics, and we had a great time teaching a whole bunch of kids! We made some great contacts and were able to inform many parents about the importance of teaching English phonics to children.”

Jolly Phonics Training at QSI International School Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China was a resounding success! 7 teachers from the school were in attendance of the one day training workshop on Tuesday September 4th, 2012. David Calia, The Jolly Phonics Trainer in Guangdong Province, presented information surrounding the five basic skills along with helpful teacher activities and an overview of Jolly materials and resources. The teachers and administration were excited and felt confident to begin using Jolly Phonics in their classes and in their school! We’re all looking forward to working with Jolly Grammar.
