Jolly Phonics

Working with letters and their sounds

Here at St Francis we use various resources and one of them is Jolly Phonics.

Jolly Phonics is a fun and child centred 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 and teachers, who can see their students achieve. The letter sounds are split into seven groups as shown below.

We are currently finishing the work with the third group of sounds. While we introduce the songs and review the sounds, we also work with differentiated language activities in the classroom, including short phonetic words (CVC) and common words (sight words).

Here are the students singing their favourite Jolly Phonics songs:

PYP 2 Sigma
