k o o b r k r e e i oo
are perfect for practising phonics skills Covering the 42 letter sounds of English, these books provide a wealth of material for children to practise their reading and writing skills. Each sound is presented with a simple story and action, a letter formation guide and a section for writing practice. Engaging exercises and fun activities allow children to apply their phonic knowledge in reading and spelling regular words, as well as some ‘tricky’ words with irregular spellings.

Checklist
Further guidance Pages 2–11: Letter sounds
The Jolly Phonics Workbooks teach progressively, with more to learn in each Workbook. Progress can be assessed on the skills checklist below.
Some sounds have two letters to represent them. These are called digraphs. For example, ‹ai› makes the sound of the /ai/ in ‘rain’, not /a-i/. The children have to remember that both letters make the digraph sound and that both are needed when writing that sound. Learning digraphs as well as single letter sounds is essential for learning how to read and write.
Reading
Recognises the fourth group of letter sounds: ai, j, oa, ie, ee, or Can blend simple words that use the letter sounds taught so far
Pages 3, 7, 9, 11, 16, 18/19, 20, 22: Joined-up (cursive) handwriting
The Jolly Phonics Workbooks introduce joined-up (cursive) handwriting with the digraphs. Joining the two letters helps the children to remember that both are needed to make the sound, and to write the letters in the correct order. It is an easy introduction to joining.
Blending is an essential skill for reading. To read words, the sounds of the letters are blended together from left to right. Sample words include jug, rain, coat, bee and for.
Can say the sound when shown a digraph
Page 11: Faint letters
Digraphs are two letters that make one sound: /ai/, /oa/, /ie/, /ee/, /or/.
The faint ‹e› in ‘horse’ indicates that it is not sounded in this word, although it is needed to spell it.
Can recognise the numerals 1–4
Page 13: /s/ sounding like /z/
Writing
In some words the /s/ sound is more like a light /z/ sound, as with the word ‘flies’. However, the pronunciations are so close that children are able to ‘tweak’ them and read them, especially if the words are already in their vocabulary.
Holds a pencil correctly
Correct pencil hold is important. The ‘tripod’ grip is recommended. The pencil is held between the thumb and the first finger, with the third finger providing support underneath the pencil. The hand should rest on the table. Writing becomes easier and more fluent when the pencil is held correctly. Early guidance helps to prevent bad habits developing.
Pages 13, 14, 19, 21: Reading and comprehension
Left-handed grip
It is important that children understand the words they have read. Decoding and comprehension are both essential skills. Several activities in this book include both skills, such as reading words and drawing pictures – which demonstrates understanding – or word and picture matching. In these Workbooks, dots underneath the letters indicate how many sounds in the words; for example, on p.13 the word ‘boat’ has four letters but only three sounds. This is because it contains the digraph /oa/, which has two letters making one sound.
Right-handed grip
Page 14: Reading phrases
Can form correctly the letters for the fourth group of letter sounds:
As the children’s ability to read words increases, they need to move on to reading short phrases.
ai, j, oa, ie, ee, or
Page 15: Anagrams
It is important that children form the letters correctly; this prevents problems developing when they move to joined-up (cursive) writing.
Games and puzzles are a fun way to help children practise reading and writing. Anagrams help as the mixed-up letters give a clue to the spelling. As the word is said, the child listens for the sounds and looks at the letters, then writes them in the correct order. The three words on the last line (rain, tree, coat) have digraphs in them. The letters for these have been kept together and the lines for writing in the digraphs are slightly longer. (Answers: map, log, pen, nest, hill, pond, rain, tree, coat.)
Can write the letters for the sounds when they are called out (dictated) The children need to remember that for digraphs two letters are needed.
Can hear all the sounds in simple regular words
This includes digraphs. Some examples are rain, jet, boat, tie, seed, corn.
Page 16: Handwriting practice for joined ‘caterpillar ‹c›’ letters
In cursive writing, plenty of practice is needed to join the ‘caterpillar ‹c›’ letters – ‹a›, ‹d›, ‹o›, ‹g›, ‹q›. Joining these letters is difficult, as the pencil has to go over, stop and come back to form the next letter, rather than just carrying on in the same direction.
Can write simple regular words This includes words with digraphs.
Can form the numerals 1–4
Page 18: Words using the digraph /or/
Plenty of practice is needed with digraphs so that the children are as confident with them as they are with the single-letter sounds.

Practise the ‹c› shape and make waves in the sea. Starting at the dots, take your pencil over to form the top of the ‹c›, then stop and come back around. The letters ‹a, d, o, g, q› are all written by starting with a ‹c› shape.
