Mother
“My child started speaking in English because of Jolly Phonics system. Mimi gained confidence in
reading and writing in no time. She is now almost six and she is able to read English books and
write sentences. She enjoys a lot all the actions – “a, a, ants on my arm” . Mimi adores their
books a lot and loves reading stories to her dollies!
As a mother, I think that this system gives the children one natural way of learning foreign
language and that it is very successful method for developing different skills: reading, writing,
listening and understanding. Miss Melly casted a jolly spell on her!
I love Jolly Phonics and my daughter loves it too. Enjoy it! “

Anelia’s mother
“Meliha Chausheva (mostly known for us as Miss Melly for the last five years) has been my
daughter‘s (Anelia Kopristenova) English teacher since she was not even five-years- old.
I often asked her after school how the day passed and she replied: ‘We started blending words!’
or ‘We are reading!’ To be honest, it sounded a bit strange to me, bearing in mind my child’s age
and being aware of the age when children start reading in Bulgaria. What my astonishment was
when, a few months later, I saw that Anny was really reading in English. In the beginning, she
was able to read short words and short sentences. In time, her abilities grew in reading complex
phrases and longer texts. For me as a mother, the quick self – confidence that my child gained in
reading not just familiar words, but also new and unknown words was of high importance. All
this was done in a fun way for the child –through games, songs and different techniques that my
child was enthusiastic about.
In short, admiration for Jolly Phonics programme and, of course, for Miss Melly, who turned the
lessons into an exciting and interesting journey for the children.”

English Teacher
“Melly's workshop is a dream come true! She came in to our school with bags and bags full of
materials and games to share with us. She did not only deliver a great presentation about the
use of Jolly Phonics, but also showed us particular activities for the teaching of sounds to kids of
different ages. All materials and games were fun and the kids love participating in those lessons.
The Jolly Phonics workshop is a great way to inspire yourself in your journey towards having
proficient readers and writers in your English class.”

“The workshop delivered by Melly Chausheva gave my Jolly Phonics teaching practice a flying
start. Melly has a huge chest full of ideas which she generously shared with me. She showed me
particular activities for every stage of the letter sound teaching and all of them were practical
and fun. She gave me a great deal of inspiration and I'm very thankful. Jolly Phonics workshop
helped me a lot to see how the programme really works.”

Jolly Phonics suits Miss Melly to a T. She has put all her heart into teaching children to read and write.
