Building Confidence. Expanding Vocabulary. Preparing for Success.
Before a child can learn to read and write in English, they must first learn to speak and understand it. Our Jolly English program is a dedicated language-learning pathway designed specifically for our international students. Through a vibrant mix of puppetry, songs, and games, we immerse children in the English language, building the essential vocabulary and oral confidence they need before they begin their Phonics journey.
How the Jolly English Program Works
A Natural Way to Learn a New Language.
We follow the beloved Jolly Phonics characters Inky Mouse, Snake, and Bee as they introduce children to the English-speaking world. The program is structured into easy-to-digest steps:
Vocabulary Building
We focus on the most common and useful words for children, from colors and numbers to family and feelings.
Oral Confidence
Our native UK and US teachers encourage students to speak from day one, using repetitive songs and chants to make new phrases natural and easy to remember.
Listening Skills
Through interactive stories, children learn to distinguish the unique sounds and rhythms of the English language.
The Bridge to Phonics
Jolly English is carefully aligned with our Phonics program. By learning the vocabulary first, your child will find it much easier to read those same words later on.
