Jolly Phonics Workbook 1

Jolly Phonics Workbook 1 is the first in a progressive series of seven workbooks, each designed to support children as they develop their phonics and early literacy skills. This 24-page workbook is a fun, engaging, and educational tool that introduces children to the first group of letter sounds: s, a, t, i, p, n. Using the trusted Jolly Phonics synthetic phonics approach, this workbook incorporates a variety of activities that promote letter recognition, sound blending, and handwriting skills in an age-appropriate and multi-sensory format. Later workbooks in the series expand to include joined-up (cursive) writing, vowel alternatives, and tricky spelling strategies. Each book is carefully designed with fun illustrations, writing practice, and puzzles that strengthen phonic skills while keeping children motivated. A helpful checklist is included at the back of each book, allowing teachers or parents to monitor student progress. Suitable for children aged 4 years and up, Workbook 1 lays the essential groundwork for reading and writing fluency. Jolly Phonics, established in 1987, remains globally recognised for its evidence-based, quality-driven, and ethical approach to education, and continues to transform early literacy instruction worldwide. Professional training in the Jolly Phonics programme is also available through Jolly Learning Australia.
