Jolly Phonics Cards - Set of 282

The Jolly Phonics Cards Set is a versatile and engaging phonics teaching tool, perfect for whole-class instruction and group activities. Containing four colour-coded boxes, this comprehensive set supports systematic synthetic phonics instruction through a wide variety of card-based activities. Box 1 features 42 letter sounds, including alternative vowel spellings, providing a foundation for phonemic awareness. Box 2 includes 80 blending words that highlight alternative vowel spellings, with each sound clearly marked using a dot to indicate when multiple letters form one sound. Box 3 offers 88 regular blending words for decoding practice, while Box 4 contains 72 high-frequency tricky words that don't follow regular phonetic patterns. This structure ensures students are exposed to a balance of decodable words and essential sight vocabulary, supporting them on the path to confident reading and writing. The visual cues on the cards help children understand sound-symbol relationships and word construction. Ideal for teachers using the Jolly Phonics program, this set can be incorporated into daily lessons, intervention sessions, or independent literacy tasks.
