characters, engaging stories, and catchy songs paired with fun actions to
introduce the 42 letter sounds. The colorful books, songs, and physical actions
help children engage in all learning paths. Sounds are taught first (before
letter names) and in a specific order that allows children to start reading as
soon as possible. You can use this program as a precursor to the Jolly Phonics
K4 or K5 program or another phonics program. Children ages 3 and up will
utilize the Bumper Book, Jolly Stories Board Book Activity Books, DVD, Letter
Sound Poster, and Songs Book & CD. There is no teacher’s book at this level.
