“Big Books and posters have been very impactful because learners can associate the picture from the story to the sound, and refer back to it whilst they are working independently at their tables and writing. So, for me, the Big Books and posters have always been my favourite resource for Jolly Phonics, to help my learners consolidate their learning.”

Jolly Literacy
Jolly Literacy offers two six-level programmes with resources covering Years 1 to 6.
Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation (formerly Jolly Grammar) provides two lessons a week. It teaches new spelling patterns, dictionary and thesaurus skills and complex grammatical concepts in an engaging and child-friendly way.
This programme offers a systematic, progressive approach to teaching these areas, introducing more spelling patterns and new grammatical concepts, such as parts of speech, sentence structure, and punctuation marks. Children also expand on their vocabulary and comprehension skills, and develop dictionary and thesaurus skills.
Teaching is multi-sensory and active, with actions, activities and songs. Each year of teaching also provides revision and consolidation of learning from previous years.
Comprehension & Creative Writing provides two further weekly lessons. In the first, children explore a variety of rich texts that interweave the spelling, vocabulary and grammar learned earlier that week. The second lesson uses those texts as a springboard for stimulating ideas and introducing strategies to promote creative, independent writing.
Together, they offer a perfect package, giving young children the skills they need to become confident readers and enthusiastic writers.
Jolly Literacy can be taught in a variety of ways!
Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation: Pupil & Teacher’s Books

At Ishraq High School, we understand the importance of a strong foundation in English, especially since many of our students start with little to no background in the language. To address this, we have implemented the Jolly Phonics program, which has been a cornerstone of our English language instruction for over a decade.
The positive outcomes speak for themselves. Our students now enter Grade 1 with a solid foundation in English, and both teachers and students appreciate the engaging and effective nature of the Jolly Phonics and Jolly English programs.

It includes easy-to-follow plans, enabling teachers to deliver lessons that embed the key skills for reading and writing.
This app is also extremely popular with parents due to its ease-of-use and interactive activities, such as games and flashcards.
The Jolly Phonics App has been installed on almost 10 million devices and is one of our most popular digital resources!
What I like most about the resources is the app that you download on your phone because it’s a tool you can use in the classroom and that parents can use at home. This means that what you teach in the class is being consolidated at home further. This is what makes it an amazing tool for us!
