The London School of Phonics & English

From Fluent Readers to Master Writers.

Once your child has mastered the 42 sounds of Phonics, the journey continues with Jolly Grammar. This program is designed to take the "mystery" out of the English language, teaching children the rules of grammar, spelling, and punctuation in a way that is clear, structured, and most importantly fun.
At the London School of Phonics and English, we don't just teach children to follow rules; we give them the tools to express their ideas with precision and flair.

The Pillars of Jolly Grammar

A Systematic Approach to Advanced Literacy.

Jolly Grammar builds on the Phonics foundation by introducing more complex language concepts. We focus on:

A E I

Advanced Spelling

We move beyond basic blending to explore complex spelling patterns and rules, ensuring your child can tackle even the most difficult words with confidence.

N V A

Parts of Speech

Using a unique color-coded system, we teach children to identify nouns (black), verbs (red), adjectives (blue), and more. This visual method makes complex grammar easy to visualize and remember.

A

Punctuation & Sentence Structure

From capital letters and full stops to speech marks and exclamation points, we show children how to "map out" their thoughts on paper.

Dictionary & Thesaurus Skills

We empower students to expand their vocabulary independently, teaching them how to find and use new words to enhance their writing.
