Tracy Watkin is a UK trained teacher with 18 years experience. Tracy began using Jolly Phonics in Romania and Cambodia and is now using it with new entrants in Nelson. She has been hugely impressed by the power of Jolly Phonics to create confident readers and writers with a secure grounding of basic skills on which to build. She will be passing on her knowledge and experience through training sessions for teachers and parents and is also happy to pass on advice by phone or email.

Fiji

Delana Seta has been teaching Class One on Beqa island with Jolly Phonics for many years.  The children he teaches enjoy it and are excited by the programme, with all of them doing well.  In a recent Class One Annual Examination he found the children did not need the question read to them – they were able to read them from the paper!  He readily gives training for teachers and he is keen to see Jolly Phonics used throughout Fiji.
