Jolly Phonics Starter Kit Extended

The Jolly Phonics Starter Kit Extended is a comprehensive and enhanced classroom resource designed for teachers introducing phonics to children in their first year of school. Building on the success of the original starter kit, this extended version includes additional engaging materials such as Jolly Phonics Readers and Jolly Songs, creating a more robust and immersive learning experience. Jolly Phonics uses a multi-sensory, synthetic phonics approach that makes learning to read and write fun, effective, and inclusive for all children. Research supports the program's success, showing that children who use Jolly Phonics make significantly greater progress in literacy than those taught through non-synthetic phonics approaches. This all-in-one classroom kit provides everything educators need to implement the full first-year Jolly Phonics program, including teaching guides, reading materials, visual aids, games, and songs to appeal to diverse learning styles. The extended kit supports both guided instruction and independent student exploration, ensuring a well-rounded introduction to phonics and early literacy. With over 40 physical components included, teachers will find it easy to deliver structured, engaging, and effective phonics instruction every day of the school year.
