Checklist
Further Guidance
The Jolly Grammar 1 Workbooks teach progressively, with more to learn in each Workbook. Progress can be assessed on the skills checklist below.
Can read and write regular words that contain the digraphs ‹sh›, ‹ch›, ‹th›, ‹ng›, ‹qu› and ‹ar›. It is important that a child learns the letter sounds that are written as digraphs. Digraphs use two letters to make one sound.
pages 2, 6, 9–10, 14, 16, 18, 23
Page 1: Jolly Phonics Revision and Alternative Spellings Learning the 42 letter sounds is the first step in reading. A child should be able to read and write simple, phonically regular words, such as cat, sun and three. Jolly Phonics also teaches some common alternative spellings of the vowel sounds; these are used and revised throughout the Jolly Grammar 1 Workbooks. These spellings are ‹y› for /ee/ (as in holly), ‹a_e› and ‹ay› for /ai/ (as in grape and day), ‹e_e› and ‹ea› for /ee/ (as in these and tea), ‹i_e›, ‹igh› and ‹y› for /ie/ (as in kite, high and fry), ‹o_e› and ‹ow› for /oa/ (as in joke and grow), ‹u_e› and ‹ew› for /ue/ (as in use and few), ‹ir› and ‹ur› for /er/ (as in bird and curl), ‹oy› for /oi/ (as in toy), ‹ow› for /ou/ (as in owl), and ‹aw›, ‹au› and ‹al› for /or/ (as in saw, haul and ball).
Can read and write the following tricky words: I, the, he, she, me, we, be, was, to, do, are, all. In Jolly Phonics, children learn 72 frequently used words that cannot be read or written just by blending and listening for sounds. Children should be able to read and write these ‘tricky’ words, which are found in the reading activities. Twelve tricky words are revised in each Workbook.
page 24
Pages 2, 6, 10, 14, 16, 18: ‹sh›, ‹ch›, ‹th›, ‹ng›, ‹qu›, ‹ar› Knowing the digraphs well improves blending skills. Joining the digraphs when writing helps children to remember spellings. Longer words are included to provide practice of writing words of all lengths.

Grammar and Punctuation
Pages 3, 8, 12, 15: The Alphabet and Capital Letters It is helpful for children to learn the alphabet in four colour-coded groups: A–E, F–M, N–S, T–Z. Each group represents about a quarter of the words in a dictionary. Learning the groups will help children find words in the Jolly Dictionary more quickly. Writing out the alphabet is also a good way for children to practise their capital letters.
Can recite the alphabet. Knowing the alphabet is a necessary skill for using a dictionary later on.
pages 3, 8, 12, 15
Can correctly form the capital letters. In order to read and write fluently, a child needs to be able to recognise capital letters and form them accurately.
pages 3, 8, 12, 15
Can read and write initial consonant blends. Practising consonant blends on their own can improve a child’s ability to read more fluently and write more accurately.
pages 4–5
Can write a simple sentence. At this stage, a child should be able to write short, simple phrases and sentences.
pages 7, 13, 19
Can read and understand simple phrases and sentences. The reading activities include tricky words and alternative vowel spellings. The frequent reading of such words helps children remember the spellings.
pages 11, 22
Can identify names as proper nouns and understand that they begin with a capital letter. Being able to identify the different parts of speech is an important skill.
page 17
Can identify common nouns.
G1WB_1–6_inside_covers_all_BEpc.indd 2-3
pages 20–21
Pages 4–5: Initial Consonant Blends It is worth devoting time to consonant blends. Children will read unfamiliar words more easily once they can blend consonants together fluently, saying /cr-a-b/ rather than /c-r-a-b/ for example. Similarly, they will spell more accurately if they can hear all the sounds in a blend, and avoid writing cab, for instance, instead of crab. Pages 7, 13, 19: Sentences Sentences help to organise words and to make meaning clear. They should begin with a capital letter, end with a full stop and must make sense. The children will not spell all the words in a sentence perfectly, but mistakes in regular and tricky words should be corrected; this will help them learn for next time. Page 17: Proper Nouns Proper nouns always start with a capital letter and are the names of specific people, places and things, such as Zack, Paris and Saturn. People’s names are a good way to introduce proper nouns, as all children have one and know that they begin with a capital letter. Pages 20–21: Common Nouns Common nouns are the names of everyday things we can see and touch. Children find it useful to think of nouns as the names of things they can see, touch or photograph, such as hat and arm. To help children decide if a word is a noun, they can see whether it makes sense to say the words a, an or the before it. Encourage your child to use a black pencil when underlining proper and common nouns.
