About us
Eirian Lloyd-Jones - Author
I’m Eirian Lloyd Jones, the author of the Tric a Chlic programme. I was born and raised in Bwlch y Llan, a village in Ceredigion. I started my career back in my home patch as the Head of Additional Learning Needs Department at Ysgol Uwchrdd Tregaron . After spending thirteen years there, I moved to South Wales initially working in the Gwent Education Authority and Torfaen following local government reorganising. My main role was as a Welsh Consultative Area Teacher but I also had the opportunity to contribute to a number of committees and focus groups and I trained nationally as part of WJEC along with creating materials for various organisations such as the BBC Education Department.
During this period I had the opportunity to attend a number of courses and conferences specifically on teaching reading strategies and methods and adapting a number of schems to the Welsh language. Having partially retired, I drew on these experiences to create a “Tric a Chlic” programme and publishing the programme enabled me to realise one ambition as I believe that the most effective method of teaching early reading is through synthetic phonics.
