WHAT IS JOLLY PHONICS

Jolly Phonics is a multi-sensory synthetic phonics program, aligned with the Science of Reading, which makes learning to read and write achievable for all children.

Jolly Phonics is taught via explicit and direct instruction as part of the approach to teaching reading skills. Jolly Phonics incorporates actions, jingles and stories for each of the 42 sounds which makes learning fun for both the child and teacher. Jolly Phonics teaches children the five essential skills needed for reading and writing. These skills are:
-Learning the letter sounds
-Learning letter formation
-Blending
-Identifying sounds in words
-Tricky words.

Jolly Phonics has been scientifically researched. The research shows that children taught using a synthetic phonics program perform at a higher level in reading and writing than those who are taught using a whole language approach. Below are links to the most popular research.

WHAT IS JOLLY GRAMMAR

Jolly Grammar is the next stage of the Jolly Phonics program.

Jolly Grammar is an all-rounded program that involves the systematic teaching of spelling, grammar, punctuation and vocabulary. Jolly Grammar can complement the science of reading principles by enhancing vocabulary, grammar knowledge, and writing skills through explicit and direct instruction. Jolly Grammar enables children to develop accuracy in spelling and writing through the use of colours and actions.
The Jolly Grammar program explores:
-Spelling rules
-Punctuation
-Parts of speech
-Dictionary use
-The tenses: past, present and future.
Jolly Grammar currently provides a grade 1-6 scope and sequence to teaching spelling and grammar.
