Advantages: Great and effective way of teaching Jolly Phonics Disadvantages: none really
Book and accompanying CD.
I bought this book and CD when my son started school as his primary school uses the Jolly Learning system to teach reading and I wanted something to encourage his learning outside of school hours. We listened to it in the car while travelling and it really helped him learn all his sounds very quickly. It also helped me as a parent to learn all the different sounds as I was not familiar with phonics at all and it enabled me to be very supportive towards his reading development. The book is also very helpful as the Jolly Learning system uses movement and image to aid the learning process and makes it fun. The CD is a little on the annoying side after a while but for your child's sake I would say grin and bear as it really pays off and don't worry too much if you are making all these strange movements (while ...

These above examples would be taught alongside each other but would require some reinforcement.
My letter of the day was 't' which is a group 1 letter, usually this would mean that the children have only just started learning phonics (nursery) and need a lot of help. The action was to turn head from left to right repeatedly (as if watching tennis) whilst saying t ...
Advantages: Excellent introduction to phonics, fun, easy...Brilliant! Disadvantages: I would have liked a demonstartion of pronunciation at the beggining of each song
wasn't there, I mean it?s 'lll-amp' not 'luh-amp' right?
I had noticed previously that although my daughter could name any letter I pointed to, she was having difficulty relating it to a word. For instance we would play I spy and I may say 'something beggining with Muh' and she'd come out with anything. I would try saying 'Muh, Muh, Muh....' to give her a clue, and she would reply 'Muh, Muh, Muh ...Grass! " or something similar. I put it down to her still only being four and not being at that stage yet. Now though I realise it was the pronunciation I'd actually gave her that was causing her confusion. After just a month at school using the 'JollyPhonics' system my daughter can now tell me what any word begins with. Now something beginning with 'Mmm' is met with Mirror, Moon, and Mummy!
