Jolly Phonics is having a positive impact on literacy levels in Ethiopia

Together We Learn has been working with teachers to use synthetic phonics since 2013 and conducted its first pilots with schools in Gondar and Bishoftu in 2014. The Jolly Phonics lessons received lots of positive feedback from the education office, teachers, students and from Together We Learn's local project managers and Together We Learn were able to see a jump in the reading age of participating students after one year.
