Jolly Phonics is a fun and child centered approach to teaching literacy through synthetic phonics. In this course, we focus on teaching ‘ reading, writing & speaking using the sounds produced by a letter or letter combinations. These sounds are taught in a systematic way, alongside all of the skills needed for being a fluent reader and writer. Jolly Phonics also teaches all of this in a fun and engaging way, through characters, stories, actions, songs and games!
The 5 skills taught through Jolly Phonics:
Learning the letter sounds: Children are taught 42 letter sounds, which is a mix of alphabet sounds such as sh, th, ai and ue. Using a multi-sensory approach each letter sound is introduced with fun actions, stories and songs.
Learning letter formation: Children are taught how to form (write) letters using a pencil. They are taught the “froggy legs” pencil grip to ensure that they have neat writing.
Blending: Children are taught how to blend individual sounds together to help them read and write new words. For example, “s” + “a” + “t” = sat. Lots of blending practice builds reading fluency.
Identifying sounds in words: Children are taught how to hear the individual sounds in full words so that they can break them down to write and spell them correctly. For example, hen = “h” + “e” + “n”
Tricky words: These are words with irregular parts, such as ‘who’ and ‘I’. Children are taught these words separately, alongside strategies to remember them.
