Description
It's hard to beat flashcards for visual connections and practice with the various word sounds. These cards go one step further and encourage a tactile finger-tracing experience. These are colorful, quality cards with many nice features. The sixty 4"x 5 5/8" cards are double-sided with rounded corners.
The front side shows the letter or letters that comprise a sound. These 1 ½" letters are lower-case with print letters. This side also shows an associative word. One nice (and unusual) feature of these letters is the embedded dot that shows where to start letter formation. That makes these cards perfect for finger-tracing practice.
The back side of each card provides an illustration of the associative word. Included also on this side are dots that designate the sounds heard in that word. For instance, the sound /ng/ has “ring" as the associative word. The picture side shows three dots for the three sounds of the word - /r/ /i/ /ng/.
A small booklet that accompanies the flashcard set gives brief instructions for learning the sounds, writing the letters, listening for the sounds, and blending the sounds together. The 43 letter sounds are covered first; then the alternative spellings for each sound.
This is a quality set of cards and a nice complement to the Jolly Phonics program material. My only quibble with them is the lack of a card number printed directly on the card. There are numbers associated with each card, but your only way to identify them is through a chart in the booklet. I would be tempted to write those numbers in as discretely as possible on each card.
Publisher's Description of Jolly Phonics Picture Flashcards
Jolly Phonics Picture Flashcards (in print letters) introduce children to the skills needed for reading and writing. Designed for whole class or group practice, as well as home, they are ideal for use with children aged between 3-7 years and can help children develop awareness of letter sounds and digraphs.
This is a set with 60 picture flash cards covering all the letter sounds taught in Jolly Phonics, plus 17 alternatives. On one side the picture is shown, along with dots, which indicate the number of sounds in the word. On the reverse, the letter sound and word relating to the picture are shown.

Category Description for Complete Programs - Phonics
Programs in this section go beyond teaching children how to read, incorporating phonetic readers, spelling and writing as well. Arranged roughly by grade/age.
Category Description for Jolly Phonics
Kids will have a jolly good time learning to read with this well-constructed program which originated in Great Britain. With the help of winsome Inky Mouse and her friends, Snake (a truly lovable snake if there ever was one) and Bee, five skills are taught in tandem throughout the program and at three age levels. Each level reviews and expands upon the previous content. A truly spiral program.
- Stories Board Book plus Activities Books (ages 3+)
- Finger Phonics plus Workbooks and Level 0 Readers (ages 4+)
- Student Books plus Decodable Readers (ages 5+)
These each cover the same seven groupings of 42 letter sounds (non-alphabetical). These groupings and progression allow immediate decoding of many words. Accompanying skills are: learning letter sounds, learning letter formation (handwriting), blending, identifying the sounds in words, and learning tricky (irregular) words.
The lesson material is straight-forward, but fun. Stories of the three friends provide the context for all the instructional information. Children learn via visual, auditory, and tactile-kinesthetic modes (for instance, sky writing and finger-tracing of letters). Letter sounds are introduced along with a set of movements that serve as mnemonic devices. All program components are high quality, well-designed, and easy to use; most are brightly colored.
The black and white Phonics Handbook provides an interesting low-cost option particularly for a class, however. It similar content to the colorful Student Books and Teacher Book minus the winsome mascot characters but the content in the Handbook is reproducible. The Handbook can be used by itself or alongside any of the other, more colorful components. Note: You do not need to have the Handbook in order to use the Student and Teacher Books.
Letter introduction in this series is a bit unusual and in the following order:
- #1: s, a, t, i, p, n
- #2: c/k, e, h, r, m, d
- #3: g, o, u, l, f, b
- #4: ai, j, oa, ie, ee, or
- #5: z, w, ng, v, oo (two sounds)
- #6: y, x, ch, sh, th (two sounds)
- #7: qu, ou, oi, ue, er, ar
All materials follow this order and most have components that are numbered accordingly (i.e. Finger Phonics Books 1-7). Initially only one way of representing each sound is presented. Later, the main alternatives spellings are covered. For example, at first the long a sound is taught with the /ai/ spelling as in rain. Later the alternatives /ay/ as in day, and /a_e/ as in came are taught.
The spiral nature of the components provides interesting options. You can begin at any of the age levels. Instruction builds within a level but each level also reviews all previously taught concepts so you won't miss any content. There is overlap in terms of appeal between the levels for certain components (i.e. Songs) meaning some of the media items can be used for the PK level as well as K. In general, the components for each level are as follows:
- Ages 3+ (PK): Stories Board Book and Activities Book. Also enjoyed: DVD, Songs Book/CD, Letter Sound Poster
- Ages 4+ (K4): Finger Phonics Books 1-7, Workbooks 1-7, and Decodable Readers Level 0. Also enjoyed: DVD, Songs Book/CD, Letter Sounds Poster, Word Book
- Ages 5+ (K): Student Books 1-3, Teacher Book, Decodable Readers Levels 1-2. Also enjoyed: Word Book, Dictionary, Blend Wheels.
- Ages 6+ (1): Decodable Readers Levels 3-5 (plus Jolly Grammar Level 1).
Rainbow Resource has packages geared to these levels.
There are several apps for smartphones and tablets available at the respective app stores. Some are free and some require a small fee. Jolly Phonics Letter Sounds, Jolly Phonics Lessons, Jolly Songs, and an app for teachers.
In summary, Jolly Phonics is an excellent program whether beginning with a PK or K student. In a relatively short time, they will be reading and writing. It goes much deeper than most beginning phonics programs, though stops just little short of a complete K-2 program. Follow up with Jolly Grammar for a solid grammar and spelling program that expands upon the phonics program and provides excellent language arts instruction.
