Ogbemudia, Magdalene Ifeoma and Alasa Victor, M.

Abstract

The quest for effective teaching of reading in pre-primary and primary schools have been a major concern for teachers of reading. This stemmed from the fact that the conventional method of teaching reading over the years such as whole method and alphabet method have not been able to address this issue on the effective teaching of reading. Therefore, this paper examined the efficacy of an instructional method of teaching reading called Jolly Phonics Instructional Strategy as a tool in the hand of teachers who teach reading in our pre-primary and primary schools.

Key words: Jolly phonics, reading, panacea, childhood education.
