About Jacqui
Jacqui Tarquinio has been a primary school teacher for over 15 years now and has been practising the Jolly Phonics program for 13 years. She first learnt the program when working in the UK and was surprised by its outstanding results with non-English-speaking learners.
After all these years, Jacqui still gets excited by the results that the Jolly Phonics program achieves. She passionately believes that every child deserves access to this synthetic, systematic and multi-sensory approach when learning English. Jacqui always marvels at the positive mindset Jolly Phonics creates when children start learning to read and write so quickly and enthusiastically.

What is Synthetic Phonics?
I use the analogy of a piece of synthetic material. Synthetic material is made up of different material parts and has been put together to make a whole.
Just like this process, our language can be broken up into sounds and built back up again through a process known as synthesising. This essentially means blending. The main process of a synthetic phonics approach is to blend sounds.
Children are first taught the individual sounds and then, when they come to a word, they must try and blend to decipher the word. Think of a whole piece of synthetic material or a whole word—either one has been synthesised to create a whole.
