Jolly Phonics is a program for children of all abilities . It it is all-sensory, child-centred and enjoyable. Jolly Phonics teaches the basics of literacy using synthetic phonics in an approach that is child-friendly. Multi-sensory techniques are extremely stimulating for youngsters. They are supported by scientific research and is recognized all over the world.

The program is focused on the teaching and practicing using learning the English alphabetic codes. The curriculum for phonics is not intended to substitute for English lessons.

The actions are available for each 42 letters. This Letter Sound Order chart below illustrates how the sounds of letters are broken down in seven categories.

Jolly Phonics is comprised of five fundamental abilities:
Jolly-Phonics-Reading
Learning the Letter Sounds
Learning Letter Formation
Blending
Identifying Sounds in Words
Tricky Words
There are examples and explanations for each of the five core competencies below.

1.Learning the Letter Sounds
Jolly-Phonics-Jolly-Reading
The 42 main sound that make up English are taught. One every day, according to The Jolly Phonics recommended purchase.

s , a , t , i ,p , n
ck , e , h , r , m , d
g ,o ,u ,l , f ,b

ai , j , oa , ie , ee , or
z , w , ng , v , oo , oo
y , x , ch , sh , th , th
qu , ou , oi , ue , er , ar
To introduce children to alphabet, a multisensory approach is employed. Every sound is accompanied by an explanation and a sequence of actions and an accompanying Sound Sheet. Children are more likely to recall the sound by engaging in activities that are related to the sound.

For instance, they could touch their stomachs and use the word “mmmmm”, for the sound of /m/.


The sound ‘r’ is taught through doing actions with two hands spread out and acting like an aeroplane. ……’.

The sound ‘h’ can be taught by imagining that you are tired and making “ha” ……’ sound.

Every child receives an individual ‘Sound’ Book. Every day, the sound book is filled with the sound of the alphabet. The book can be stored and brought home with every child. Parents are encouraged to assist children to learn the sounds. This can be accomplished through reading from the Sound Book and/or cutting up the letters. To blend quickly, it is essential to master the sounds of letters quickly. The daily flashcards are recommended to be shown to youngsters to use as an visual aid. Two letters may represent certain sounds, also known as digraphs. Children must be capable of recognizing digraphs in words, for example, the ‘ng’ sound in strong’. Every digraph ‘oo’ as well as “th” have two sound: e.g., book and moon thin, and that. Jolly Phonics has them written in two sizes initially to help youngsters to comprehend both sounds.

2. Learning Letter Formation

The children are taught to form the letters correctly when they are learning the sounds of letters. In the beginning, the teacher will instruct the children to form the letters in a single motion. After 12 weeks, the majority of children will be able to write letters accurately by feeling and writing every letter.

It is also essential that children are taught how to hold their pencils correctly by using their tripod grip.

Jolly Phonics makes use of the Sassoon Infant text face with joining tails. This makes it easier for children to master the art of cursive (joined-up) written language.


3. Blending

Children must be taught the sounds, and also how to combine them into words. It starts on the first day. It is crucial that children hear when their teacher talks. For instance, “Listen carefully, what word do I say… d-o-g?” Children may be able to hear “dog”. Some other words are possible, like’su-n” or “boy” or’mou-se’.

Once children are able to identify the sounds and hear them spoken, they’ll be able to make their own words. To be able to read, children should be able to mix letters fluently. This is a must to begin and can be utilized as a basis for understanding new words. Children should be able to identify consonant digraphs and blend into words such as fl-a’g” and “sh-o-p”.

Once children have learned the sounds of letters and can read basic regular words, they are able to bring the Word Boxes home to practice. Word Boxes are words that can be made using the initial set of letters. Children who are able to mix sounds rapidly become proficient readers.

At first, only one spelling method for vowels will be taught. Children should be able to combine the spellings into words before they learn the alternate spellings.

After the children have completed their Word Boxes and discovered some unusual words, they should be handed stories. Inform parents that their child will not be permitted to bring home a book until they have achieved the art of mixing. Parents should help their children to discuss the books they’ve read.

4. Identifying Sounds in Words
Recognizing sounds in words-Jolly Reading
Children should be able to be able to hear the individual sounds of words. This is particularly important when it comes to writing. Children will be asked to pay attention and inquire if they recognize particular sounds in the words. For instance, “Is there an’s” in “sun”, “mouse”, and “dog ‘?”; “If there’s an’s”, where is it coming from – the middle, end, or beginning?” Then, you can encourage children to make use of their sense of sound to identify the words they are hearing. It is possible to practice using words like “hat”. Children should respond by saying ‘h-a’t. They should raise the finger of each sound. ,… “h-a-t” three fingers to represent three sound; and’sh-ip’ three fingers to make three sound. It is possible to move onto more complicated words, like ones that have the final and first consonant blends.

When the children speak as they speak, the teacher writes the alphabet onto the chalkboard. The children then take a look at the word and begin to make sounds. They mix the sounds to write it. This will help you gain an comprehension of writing and reading. The ability to write can be improved by practicing a few writing exercises every day.

Children can begin writing independently when they can hear and then write down the sound. While they may not be proficient at spelling correctly initially but their work will be read. At the end of the first year, the majority of children will be able to write basic stories and news on their own. They can write whatever they like, since they aren’t required to adhere to the words they are familiar with. The art of spelling correctly requires time, as well as reading books and acquiring the vowel sounds that are different.

5. Tricky Words
tricky-words-jolly-phonics Jolly Reading
In the first month, many children have mastered 18 letters. They’ve also learned how to mix regular words in a group task. They can then begin to master difficult words. The words considered to be tricky are those that are not able to be combined. They are introduced slowly with Jolly Phonics Tricky Word Cards. Look at the “tricky” component of every word. For instance, “was” has an /o/ sound , instead of an /a/ sound. It is recommended that you instruct 2-3 times per week, and stay up with reading and spelling.

These spelling strategies are used to: (Cover, Write and Examine)

Say It as It Sounds. For instance, you could pronounce the word’mother’ using a short sound , /o/. This means that it rhymes with the word “bother.

Mnemonics can be used to spell the word “people” (e.g., “people eat omelets people love eggs”)

Jolly Phonics was thoroughly researched and proved to be highly efficient. Here are some quotes of three studies dealing with synthetic phonetics. One was in England and another within Scotland as well as Canada. Synthetic phonics is a method of the teaching of individual letter sounds and how they can be combined into words. It is Jolly Phonics’ core approach to teaching.

International Research & Study :
Reading 3.6 years earlier than their chronological age Spelling 1.9 years earlier than their chronological age Comprehension 3.5 months ahead Boys are reading 9.5 months earlier than girls Boys are 8.6 months earlier than girls
Demo: He just finished Phonics at Sr. KG. He is now going to First. Indian Mythological stories have difficult words that can’t always be read Phonetically however he’s reading them all with great efficiency. We concentrate on reading that allows children to develop into competent Independent Readers and don’t require students to learn Advanced Phonics
The Research:
“Jolly Phonics children were twelve months ahead of the expected level in reading ability for their age.” “The synthetic phonics classes performed better than the whole language classes on 16 of 19 reading or spelling measures” “Jolly Phonics was able to produce long-lasting results, as demonstrated by the data.”
