Jolly Phonics Workbooks: Books 1-7

When my daughter started in reception, I was quite aprehensive about her learning to read & spell. I needn't have bothered. This is an excellent teaching system. It is easy for the children to remember, with the "phonic" actions being addictive. My son has started nursery and even he has managed to surprise his teachers with the ease in which he has picked up on the Jolly-Phonic alphabet. This is an absolute must for any parent whose child has just started (or even about to start) school.
Since I bought these books my daughter is constantly pestering me to teach her the next sound/action, even the activites at the back of the book are fun to do!!
Go on, give the teachers a helpling hand and buy these for your little one!

My child has just started learning the sounds of letters with the Jolly Phonics Method.
My son last year was using a different method and still lacks some of the grasps the basics.
It has taken my daughter less than 3 weeks to learn all the letter sounds, she knew the alphabet already so this really does seem the next logical step.

I brought these books for my 3 1/2 year old daughter 2 days ago. We have been looking through the first two books together. I think they are brilliant. She has a fairly short attention span (what 3 year old doesn't), but these books managed to hold her attention.

Within a couple of days she has managed to identify the letter sounds, and amazingly has just sounded out/blended the word cat. What a fantastic start to her education!!!

These books are brilliant, my daughter had no interest in learning untill we bought these and she loves them, she is happy to sit down with me and use them, within a week she knew lots of her letters FANTASTIC!

Bought these for my 3+ daughter & she just loves them. Very useful & gives her something different from her usual books that we get from the library.
Sister in law is a teacher & said these will be good books for her to learn from. Will be looking into more books from the same series.

An excellent insite into what your child is learing at school. I leave the books around the playroom and my son of 4 years and in reception will pick them up, recognise the letters that he has learnt at school and attempt to colour, write and read the exercises.

It should reference that you need to get this with the home kit, as these are only the workbooks so not complete in themselves

Purchased for my son, he enjoys tracing the letters and shapes, good that can also colour in. One of the books pages were in the wrong order and upside down other than that good educational books

We have used these for our son, who has just turned 4, alongside the teachers handbook. These books allow him to practice writing the letters we have learnt. Most importantly he has a real motivation to do them and always wants to learn the next letter.
Hopefully he will be a bit ahead when he starts school in September!

My daughter is not showing much interest in them because they are all black and white and need to be coloured in. I think more colour on the pages to begin with would look more inviting.....
