According to Oxford Dictionary, phonics is a “method of teaching people to read by correlating sounds with symbols in an alphabetic writing system”. In simple words, each letter of the alphabet has a sound. Instead of teaching young children the names of these alphabets, the sounds are taught. For example “a” makes the sound \/a\/…this is exactly the sound that comes from your mouth in the beginning when you say the word “apple<\/span>” or “ant<\/span>“. The letter “a” makes a different sound in words like “arm<\/span>” and “ate<\/span>” but these rules are taught later. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jolly Phonics is a synthetic phonics system where all the letters of the alphabet have been split into seven groups. Each group contains 6 letters or their combinations so a total of 42 sounds are taught. What do I mean by a combination of letters? Remember that the combination of letters “s” and “h” makes the sound \/sh\/ when it comes at the beginning of words like sheep or ship. So, a combination of letters makes a particular sound too. Hence, we have 42 sounds in Jolly Phonics instead of 26 sounds where 26 is the total number of letters in the English Alphabet.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
