Teaching Lessons with Jolly Phonics

Jolly Phonics lessons are taught in three progressive steps, each building children’s skills and confidence as they move from recognising individual sounds to reading and writing independently. Every step offers carefully structured lessons that combine systematic synthetic phonics with handwriting, blending, and segmenting practice. The teaching is cumulative, ensuring that with each new sound learned, pupils can read and write an increasing number of words.
