Jolly Phonics is a program that is meant to teach letters and letter sounds.  There are a TON of different ways for children to learn their letters and sounds – this is just one.  I will write about many different incidental learning activities to help your wee one learn their letters and sounds in more natural situations.  However, I had to add in my two cents about Jolly Phonics and why I love it.

Jolly phonics suggests teaching letters in this order

By teaching the letters in this manner, children are able to begin forming words very quickly.  After learning the first 6 letters kids can make words in the “at”, “an”, “it”, “ip”, “ap” and “in” families.

The program also encourages multi-sensory ways for kids to learn about letter formation.  As well, the program addresses the 42 sounds – not just the 26 letters.  This allows kids to segment words better and can actually improve spelling.
