Jolly Phonics
We use the Jolly Phonics program, and begin learning the letter sounds on the first day of school! This page will provide you with some information and resources so you can assist your child's learning.
ABOUT JOLLY PHONICS:
"Jolly Phonics is a thorough foundation for reading and writing. It uses the synthetic phonics method of teaching the letter sounds in a way that is fun and multi-sensory. Children learn how to use the letter sounds to read and write words.”1

Letter Formation: Proper letter formation is important. Most letters “start at the top” and the pencil remains on the page during formation. Please help reinforce proper letter formation at home.
Sound Books: Sound Books, which show the letter’s action, are provided in your child’s homework folder after each group of sounds is presented. Please practice these daily with your child. The action helps children remember the sound/letter connections. You are welcome to keep these booklets at home for daily practice.
