I am a nanny and have helped many a child through the foundation stage and have even assisted in Reception classes; however when my boss (currently looking at schools for current charge) asked me how they teach words/phonics/reading in schools, my mind went blank.
So can you help me explain to her in laymans terms how they teach it and what jolly phonics is all about as my head hasn't had to deal with it in a while and although I can help teach phonics/listen to my charges read I have no idea how to explain how it is taught and why that method etc.
