Jolly Literacy

Helping children become confident readers and writers

Building on the foundations of Jolly Phonics, Jolly Literacy supports children from Years 1 to 6 with step-by-step teaching in spelling, grammar, punctuation, reading comprehension and writing. Through rich texts, purposeful activities and teacher-friendly resources, the programme helps children become thoughtful readers, accurate spellers and confident writers.

Spelling, Grammar and Puctuation

Build confident, accurate writers with a structured programme that develops spelling, grammar, punctuation and vocabulary across Years 1–6.

Each level introduces new concepts in a clear, child-friendly way, while revisiting and extending previous learning so children can apply their knowledge with confidence. Teachers are supported with structured lesson plans and practical activities designed for consistent progression.

  • New spelling patterns and word-building strategies
  • Grammar and sentence structure taught progressively
  • Punctuation skills developed in context
  • Dictionary and thesaurus skills to strengthen vocabulary
  • Clear, structured lessons with teacher support
  • Six levels covering Years 1–6
