Little Word Books

Perfect for letter sound practice

These Little Word Books provide a gradual and structured start for children who are just beginning to read. They give children the opportunity to apply their letter-sound knowledge and improve their ability to blend words ﬂuently.

The words for blending cover the 42 letter sounds across fourteen books. There are two books for each letter-sound group, which have decodable words that only use the sounds for that group and below.

The beautifully illustrated pages can also be used to stimulate discussion and build vocabulary.

Children read the word and then turn the page to see the picture and ﬁnd out if they are correct. They can use the sound dots under the picture to help them segment the word, pointing to each dot as they say the sound.

Jolly Literacy

Jolly Literacy offers two six-level programs with resources covering Grades 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 program 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.

Reading Comprehension & Writing Skills 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 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!
