New Delhi, 27th October 2025: Chris Jolly, the creative mind behind Jolly Learning and the publisher of Jolly Phonics, is touring India this November for a teacher training tour that goes across nine cities. The places he will visit include Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Indore, Delhi, and Jodhpur. The program is planned to turn Jolly Phonics into the best and most used English teaching method in schools all over India.
Along with a lecture about the main problems of teaching English and how to overcome them, Chris Jolly will conduct training sessions led by qualified Indian Jolly Phonics trainers in each city. The program demonstrates how teachers can achieve faster and better literacy results than are attainable through traditional means, thereby ensuring the success of all children, regardless of their origin or gender, not only in literacy but in schooling as a whole.
“Jolly Phonics is designed to make learning English engaging, fun, and effective,” said Chris Jolly, Founder of Jolly Learning and Jolly Phonics. “We want teachers in India to see how this approach can accelerate literacy, boost confidence, and make learning enjoyable for every child.”
The nine-city tour will equip teachers across India with the skills and knowledge to make English teaching more impactful, effective, and enjoyable, further strengthening Jolly Phonics’ position as the world’s favourite method for teaching reading and writing.
