Jolly Phonics
See the daily schedule for more Jolly Phonics videos.
Jolly Phonics is a literacy program that teaches children to read and write words using the letter sounds of 42 main combinations of the English language in an enjoyable, multi-sensory way. The letters are not introduced in alphabetical order. The first six letters have been chosen as they can make simple three letter words easier (s, a, t, i, p, n).
