Jolly Phonics Word Book

A very useful book. It shows parents which sounds and blends of words children learn from Reception and in which order to progress. Also helpful for spelling tests. If you are keen on helping your child with literacy at home this is a must even if you are not using the Jolly Phonics scheme.

I have been very keen to teach my son the letters of the alphabet but wanted to do it the right way. Having visited his school he will be attending next year, they do follow the Jolly phonics scheme and therefore these books have been great along with the work books. It's given me the confidence to teach and he has enjoyed the colourful pictures and tracing with his finger the letters. We are now moving on to book three after he has managed to read and write the letters in books one and two. Being a working parent and mum to a one year old aswell we are only able to do learning for an hour on a friday so these short to the point books are great. My husband also helps by going over a book for 5 mins at bedtime before reading a short story. It certainly has been a fun way to learn.

Brilliant help for my little boy who uses jolly phonics at school and was struggling a little. Im sure u would agree that help at home goes a long way and these books do just the trick.

I did a lot of my own research online, books, tv, parents and teachers and finally arrived with the knowledge that teaching phonics was the best way to teach and that Jolly Phonics was the best method available.

I started off with the phonic songs cd and we both learnt all 42 songs for all the wounds. We also used the phonic poster to remind him about the sounds. Once he started reception at 4 he learnt how to form words using the 42 sounds learnt. I then bought this book to list the various words for him to practise. As he learnt the other letter groupings of letters like "a-e" "ai" and "ay" all making the same sound my son used this book to practise the words at home. At the end of the book it list about 70 tricky words that cannot be read phonetically. My son practises these words regularly at home and it has really built his confidence with reading.

As he has learnt the phonetic rules to sound out words he is confidence to sound out words he has never seen before.

....... years later
My son is now 7 and I still use this book.. He can read the words now; so I now use this book to help him with his spelling. We look at the words in each section and see the similarities in spelling and work out rules so that he can find it easier to spell. I found that this builds his confidence to try to spell out new words that he has never seen before. He likes getting spelling test where all the words rhythm or they are similar in sound.

I bought these jolly phonics word books for a person with learning difficulties she is in her 40s and they have helped her a great deal.Thanks very much Amazon for keeping items like this in stock, yet again another happy customer.

My son is doing Jolly phonics at school using these books so having them at home is a great help to him and he loves doing it. A must for Key 1 children.

Really good books and my 4 year old really enjoys using them and is very proud of her efforts - as are we!

If your a fan of Jolly phonics then you will find this book a must.
I use it all the time in my primary class. Great price.

This goes well with the Jolley Phonics book for those children ready to take that step further. A good tool for pre school.

My son & daughters school use Jolly Phonics so these are excellent workbooks and at the price I paid well worth it! I only wish I had bought them for my son when he started school 3 years ago - but I wasnt really aware of Jolly Phonics then as a first time mum. If your children's school is using this method to teach kids then they are definitely worth it.
