Jolly Phonics

Jolly Phonics provides a fun, multi-sensory and child-centred approach to teaching literacy. Research shows that the progress made by children using Jolly Phonics far exceeds the progress of those children not taught using a synthetic phonics approach. Sounds are taught in a specific order (not alphabetically) with actions for each of the 42 letter sounds and has proven very motivating and enjoyable for both children and teachers.
