Jolly Phonics My First Letter Sounds  

My First Letter Sounds is an engaging and educational resource designed to introduce children to the fundamental sounds of the English language. Unlike traditional alphabet books, this book focuses on teaching the sounds that letters make rather than their names, which is a crucial first step toward developing early reading and writing skills. The book provides clear guidance on the pronunciation of each sound, with a written pronunciation guide to support both parents and children. Arrows are included on each letter to guide correct letter formation, making it an excellent tool for young learners to practise writing. Through the use of vibrant pictures and engaging activities, children are encouraged to identify sounds in words, such as recognising the /ssss/ sound in "sun." The book is structured to be accessible for both parents and educators, with helpful tips and guidance included throughout. This resource is an ideal introduction to phonics, laying the groundwork for successful literacy development. It is designed to be fun, interactive, and educational, fostering a love for learning and supporting young children on their literacy journey.
