WHAT IS JOLLY PHONICS?
​
Jolly Phonics is a fun and child centered approach to teaching literacy through synthetic phonics. With actions for each of the 42 letter sounds, the multi-sensory method is very motivating for children. The letter sounds are split into seven groups, as shown in the Letter Sound Order chart below.
HOW DOES JOLLY PHONICS WORK?
​
Using a synthetic phonics approach, Jolly Phonics teaches children the five key skills for reading and writing. Complimented by Jolly Readers and Jolly Grammar, it provides a thorough foundation for teaching literacy over three years in school (Reception to year 2).
LETTER SOUND ORDER
​
The sounds are taught in a specific order (not alphabetically). This enables children to begin building words as early as possible.

TECHNOLOGY
IN CLASS
Technology can help teachers form a better relationship with their students and their colleagues. For example, 84% of teachers report using the internet at least weekly to find content that will engage students. ... Using technology in your classroom also encourages critical thinking skills.
EVERY TEACHER'S DILEMMAS
Teachers deal with many ethical problems in their practice. They encounter issues such as inappropriate allocation of resources, situations in which pupils are being discussed inappropriately, and irresponsible colleagues.
