I taught in Scotland this past semester, and I saw pretty much the same comparisons, which means English and Scottish schools are run quite similarly. I was also intrigued by the way sounds and letters are taught. I learned the name of the system is Jolly Phonics (or at least that's the program my school used) and with some brief research, I see there are some people promoting Jolly Phonics in the US. I wonder if teaching sounds and letters this way will become more mainstreamed in the future! If it does, you'll be glad to have been exposed to the teaching style already! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604205289243828369noreply@blogger.com
