Literacy
Jolly Literacy
Jolly Literacy offers two programmes with resources covering Years 1 to 6.
Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation teaches spelling patterns, grammar, and punctuation through two weekly lessons using a fun, multisensory approach. Children learn dictionary and thesaurus skills, explore parts of speech, sentence structure, and build vocabulary and comprehension, with regular revision to reinforce progress.
Reading Comprehension & Writing Skills adds two lessons each week: one focused on rich texts linking to that week’s grammar and spelling, and one inspiring creative, independent writing.
Together, they give children the skills and confidence to read and write with enthusiasm.

Who is Jolly English for?
Jolly English is an English language course that has been carefully developed and sequenced for pre-school children who have little or no knowledge of English.

Can be used before or alongside Jolly Phonics, or as a standalone early learner’s English language course.
This comprehensive course enables teachers to embed essential English vocabulary and develop pupils’ awareness of the sounds of the English language. Vocabulary is introduced gradually and the introduction of phonics concepts is systematic, laying the foundations for the Jolly Phonics programme.

✔ Age-appropriate, multi-sensory activities using songs, chants, games and role-play
✔ All 42 sounds are introduced in the Jolly Phonics sequence with continuous revision and consolidation
✔ Develops children’s fine motor skills
