Phonics is the method of teaching English language by developing Phoneme awareness. It is the connection between graphemes (letter symbols) and Phonemes (letter sounds).
Phonics represents one of the primary building blocks of reading. Understanding letter-sound relationships is essential for reading development and enables children to decode words independently.
Jolly Phonics is a synthetic phonic method and an effective teaching methodology followed worldwide. This multisensory method is specially designed and developed by Sue Lloyd and Sara Wernham.
Jolly Phonics is a globally recognised, research-based method developed by Jolly Learning Ltd., UK. It's known for consistently high success rates in early literacy development. The program targets children aged 4-8 years and uses a multisensory approach that actively engages visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic learners.
Jolly Phonic is a multi sensory method used to introduce letter sounds. Every letter has a sound, song and action and they are taught together. Eg. Beat the drum and say 'duh' for /d/ sound. Every sound is taught with a story, song, action, activity sheet and so on.
Children learn 42 sounds with an action for each sound. This includes alphabet sounds and digraphs such as /ch/,/ /er/, /oa/etc.
Children learn the formation of each letter and write correctly.
Children learn to blend the sounds together to make a word.
Children identify the different sounds in a word and write correctly.
All the words in English cannot be read in Phonics method. eg. he, one, said… The irregular spellings are read by sight word reading or made to spell repeatedly to gain spelling and reading fluency.
The Shine uses color-coding and actions to teach grammar topics including nouns, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, adjectives, articles, tenses, and punctuation. This multisensory approach makes grammar learning engaging and memorable for children.
