- Jolly Phonics Program is a multi-sensory, active and specifically designed for young children.
- With Jolly Phonics, the children are not just taught the alphabets sounds but all the 42 main letter sounds and how they are written.
- Children are taken through stages of blending sounds together to form words and then on to reading.
- Children are taught to write by listening for the sounds in spoken words and identifying the letters corresponding to those sounds.
What is Jolly Phonics
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 and her friend Phonic the computer teach Snake and Bee the letter sounds and reading techniques. Snake picks up the literacy skills quickly, while Bee has more difficulty, but eventually understands.

Phonics builds on the common elements within the English language. Vowel sounds, both short and long, have repeating characteristics, like the sounds for ie and oo. Short and long vowel sounds have different rules and sounds, but the sounds can be taught through sight recognition. Some words are known as sight words because they do not follow phonics rules and must be memorized. In the English language, there are several words that we use over and over, and though they are decodable using phonics techniques, they are taught as sight words.
