A step-by-step progression from first sounds to fluent reading and spelling
Children are taught the 42 main letter sounds in a carefully structured sequence. Each sound is introduced using an action, story and song to help children remember it more easily.
Children learn how to form letters correctly using clear demonstrations and guided handwriting practice. The programme supports both print and precursive handwriting styles.
Blending teaches children how to push sounds together to read words. This essential decoding skill helps children become confident and fluent readers.
Children learn how to hear the individual sounds in words and write them down correctly. Segmenting builds strong spelling and writing foundations.
Some English words cannot be sounded out easily. Jolly Phonics teaches these tricky words separately to help children improve reading fluency and comprehension.
Our Jolly Songs help you bring phonics to life through music, movement and memorable actions.
Featuring songs for all 42 letter sounds in the Jolly Phonics order, they help children build strong sound–symbol relationships, develop blending and segmenting skills, and grow in confidence as they learn to read and write.
Designed for use in the classroom or at home, Jolly Songs make early phonics practice fun, engaging and easy to revisit.
