SPELD SA is offering the Jolly Phonics Review and Refresher Session at half-price for Term 3. This brings the cost down to $100 for the 1 ½ hour session.
 
We are offering this special price to encourage schools to take the time to review their practice in order to ensure the best possible outcomes from the program.
 
The content of the session can be negotiated to some extent, but the aim is to look back at the basic elements of Jolly Phonics to ensure it is being delivered as effectively as possible.
