** What is Jolly Phonics? **

 * Jolly Phonics is a fun and child centred approach to teaching literacy. 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. **

** Letter Sound Order **

 * The sounds are taught in a specific order (not alphabetically). This enables children to begin building words as early as possible. **

** How does Jolly Phonics work? **

 * Using a synthetic phonics approach, Jolly Phonics teaches children the five key skills for reading and writing. Complemented by Jolly Readers and Jolly Grammar, it provides a thorough foundation for teaching literacy over three years in school. **

** 1.Learning the letter sounds **

 * Children are taught the 42 main letter sounds. This includes alphabet sounds as well as digraphs such as sh, th, ai and ue. **



** 2.Learning letter formation **

 * Using different multi-sensory methods, children learn how to form and write the letters. **

** 3.Blending **

 * Children are taught how to blend the sounds together to read and write new words. **

** 4.Identifying the sounds in words **

 * Listening for the sounds in words gives children the best start for improving spelling. **

** 5.Tricky words **

 * Tricky words have irregular spellings and children learn these separately. **

__**ABOUT JOLLY PHONICS**__
 * Jolly Phonics is a systematic synthetic phonics programme designed to teach children to read and write. Children learn the 42 letter sounds of the English language, rather than the alphabet. They are then taken through the stages of blending and segmenting words to develop reading and writing skills. **
 * There are two main approaches to teaching phonics: analytic and synthetic. Both approaches require the learner to develop the ability to hear and discriminate sounds in spoken words. Jolly Phonics is a scheme which comes under the Synthetic phonics method. **
 * The Jolly Phonics characters Inky Mouse, Snake and Bee are used throughout the materials. They often reflect the different speeds at which children learn to read and write. Inky Mouse teaches Snake and Bee the letter sounds and reading techniques. Snake picks up the literacy skills quickly, while Bee has more difficulty, but eventually understands. **

**//The resources I have added in this page related to phonics are interesting and important in children's English Teaching .Children who learn Synthetic phonics at school can read at the age of 3 just using sounds.//**

**Jolly Phonics is a thorough foundation for reading and writing. It teaches the letter sounds in an enjoyable, multisensory way, and enables children to use them to read and write words. Jolly Phonics is a British programme for teaching reading, writing, and spelling using phonics. It was created by UK teachers Sue Lloyd and Sara Wernham. In Jolly Phonics, each of the main 44 sounds that make up the English language has an action. The action for N, for example, is to put out your arms to be a "nasty noisy aeroplane" nose diving saying 'Nnnnnnnnnn". This helps the children to remember which sound is associated with which letter, and it also makes it quite fun to use. **

**Gilfach Fargoed Primary introduced the "Jolly Phonics Program" to children in Reception in 2002 as part of our whole school literacy plan. It is a highly structured program which gives children a thorough foundation in the development of reading and writing skills. It is a multi-sensory, active program that is particularly suitable for young children. As well as teaching the letters in an enjoyable multi-sensory way (See It, Hear It, Feel It, Write It), it teaches children to use letters to read and write words.**

**The system allows whole class teaching and provides a solid foundation for children as they learn basic literacy skills; these are then integrated into the whole language approach used at the school.**

**Independent studies find that, after one years teaching, children taught with Jolly Phonics have an average reading age around 12 months ahead of their actual age. Their spelling age is usually slightly ahead of this. Boys typically do as well as Girls, and children on free school meals (as a measure of social class) normally do as well as their classmates.**
