Jolly Literacy builds on phonics foundations to develop spelling, punctuation, grammar, reading comprehension and creative writing skills for learners in Years 1-6.
Discover Jolly Literacy ›Jolly Phonics was created by classroom teachers, Sue Lloyd and Sara Wernham, shaped around what helps children remember sounds, blend words and build confidence in real lessons.
Stories, songs, actions, images and games help children connect each sound with movement, memory and meaning. The result is joyful teaching that still stays structured and rigorous.
From classroom resources and decodable readers to apps, online training and digital teaching tools, Jolly supports phonics and literacy practice across school and home.
Jolly does not stop at first letter sounds. Our programmes support children as they move from early phonics into spelling, grammar, punctuation, reading comprehension and writing skills.
Jolly Classroom is our engaging digital learning platform designed to bring phonics and literacy teaching to life in both classrooms and home learning environments. Created to support teachers, schools and home educators, Jolly Classroom combines interactive lessons, decodable readers, activities and assessment tools to help children develop confident reading and writing skills.
Quickly assess children's phonics knowledge and identify gaps easily with Jolly Assessments.
Designed to support children as they learn to read and write, the app delivers engaging, interactive lessons covering all 42 letter sounds, alternative spellings and tricky words.
Phonics should be fun and engaging and Jolly Phonics most definitely supports this. The children in our school love singing the songs and doing the actions!
Jolly Classroom has been a saviour to me. Having lessons and activities ready to go saves so much time and allows me to channel my energy into other areas.
Everything is so aesthetically pleasing, the children are really captivated. They are blending and segmenting, they are just doing amazing.
