Postal Phonics Courses Testimonials

Postal Course Testimonials

"I have ordered the postal phonics packs for two of my children, a boy and a girl, very different children, with different amounts of concentration and willingness to "learn", both adored them.

I initially hesitated about the price but it turned out to be money well spent when the children and I gained so much from our creative time together. Jackie is so imaginative! I could not think of such fun ways for a child to remember a sound. The packs are very comprehensive, everything included (a little cake one week! An electrical circuit the next!!) The instructions are very clear, so a parent can easily understand how to emphasise a sound in the right way, or how to construct the craft activity each week. Doing "phonics for four year olds" in this way, at home, can become a very special time each week. My children are now both at school, but are still proud of the things they made from these packs, which are dotted around the house!"

Mrs J. Mitchell, Hampshire

"Anna would often ask:

"did we get anymore packs from Jackie?" or "when can we play Jackie's games?"

Anna benefited greatly from the Jolly Phonics materials and quickly learned the 'tricky words' using games. She enjoyed the hooking ducks game and quickly became familiar with when, where, why and which - always a little confusing. She enjoyed Spin a Word Race and no longer was confused by that, then, there and than.

Anna never found any of the materials a chore and looked forward to going through Jackie's packs each week. She was just as happy to play one of Jackie's excellent learning games as she was to play the regular snakes and ladders. I can honestly say that she enjoyed every minute and benefited hugely."

"Charlie, when asked what was his favourite part of the postal phonics, said 'The craft section'. He loved learning through 'making', gluing and colouring. He enjoyed collecting all the activities in his own folder.
He felt special that it was all just for him.

The role reversal has been quite funny -
rather than me nagging Charlie to do his homework,
it's been Charlie persuading me to do more all the time!
He just LOVES doing these packs!"

Natalie Johnson and Charlie (9) (Woking)

"Kathryn thoroughly enjoyed the postal course. We have to say a big thank you to you, as she has gone from not even attempting to read, to reading books with a couple of lines on each page! In addition she constantly has books in her hand that she asks to
read to me or my husband, and even her big brother, Alex.

Your postal course made letters and blending the sounds fun, by playing all of the
games. Kathryn's favourite was the letter blending skittles, especially the
pink pompom. The magnetic blending game had her in fits of giggles.

We are using the resources from the postal packs on a regular basis, and the
best part is that Kathryn asks to play the games.

I would truly recommend the Postal Blending Course to encourage any reluctant readers!"

Debbie Gooch, mum of Kathryn, Year 1 (Woking)

"Joe has completed two postal courses. He enjoyed the games to help him learn his words, and he liked the fact that each week was linked to the Internet, which was also fun. Making learning fun and enjoyable was the key to Joe learning all his sight words. It was good that we could re-do the words he found a bit tricky on the next day, or revisit any of the packs."

"We have enjoyed the word games and it's certainly helped my daughter's reading and recognition. She sees it as a game and not homework. Even getting the parcels
through the door - she thinks is a present for her!"

Julie, parent of Isabel, Year 1 (Chertsey)

"I am so thankful that I decided to do this course for Joshua. He has made such great progress. It has only taken him 6 weeks to achieve what I have been trying for 12 months. We both love receiving the post packs and look forward to playing the games together. We look forward to doing the next course."

Iris Cobb, parent of Joshua (6) (Woking)

"I think this High Frequency Word course is excellent value for money and is so so good.
I am only sorry I couldn't do this one or two years ago, as she is struggling at school.
Her younger sister, Maddie, is attending your pre-school classes - she has
the advantage of an older sister for her mum to learn from!"

Zoe Thurkle, mum of Lola (7) and Maddie (3) (Addlestone)

"I think the High Frequency Word course is excellent and have really enjoyed it. It is very flexible, so you don't feel under pressure if you have very little time. My son is finding reading and writing really hard, but the course at least has made it enjoyable for him and less frustrating for me."

Lucy Finnegan, parent of Edward, Reception year (Weybridge)

"Just wanted to say thank you very much; Ryan and I have thoroughly enjoyed the postal phonics course. Ryan has been so excited waiting for the postman to bring his post.
I thought the course layout was brilliant; very easy to follow,
fun and educational - couldn't ask for a lot more!

Ryan has done fantastically with the course and on the week 18 assessment recognised all the letters independently. The whole thing has totally captured his imagination."

Helen Borrett, parent of Ryan (4) (Woking)

	"We need to say a big thank you for the special start to reading you have given Mandeep, We really appreciate the time, effort and attention to detail. The packs were easy to follow and Mandeep enjoyed all the activities. She was particularly proud of her crosswords and all the phonic crafts. The sounds are coming together nicely.
	Jas Karlcut (Delhi, India), mother of Mandeep (5), who sent the following message:
	"I have finished your phonics packs and I loved doing the treasure hunt with mummy today. Thank you for the love hearts. I have learnt lots and even read the big words today in the blending machine."
