In 2022 Jolly Phonics was implemented in Vizainagaram and 7 blocks in Vishakapatinum district. Dr. B. Pratap Reddy, the Director of SCERT, along with the assistance of Ms. Sailaja Madam, have played a crucial role in the success of these rollouts. The involvement of DEOs, Coordinators, MEOs, CRPs in the training further strengthened the impact of the programme.
Jolly Phonics has benefited a large number of schools, teachers, and students. The positive response from teachers, who found the training useful and exciting, is a testament to the effectiveness of the Jolly Phonics methodology. The immediate impact on students' ability to blend words, read longer words and understand and apply spelling rules has been encouraging for all involved. The use of WhatsApp groups to provide on-going support has contributed to sustaining the positive impact of the programme in Vizainagaram Vishakapatinum districts.
