A Complete K-6 Phonics, Spelling and Grammar Program

Jolly Phonics

​ Jolly Phonics is a multi-sensory synthetic phonics program which makes learning to read and write achievable for all children. 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.
