I paid for this app and it’s partner jolly phonics games, as I though at entry level screen time it might be fun and also as a bonus educational - however - it is so bloody boring! Seriously. He is doing fairly well at school and understands some basic phonemes so it wasn’t due to lack of understanding. The platform is just so incredibly repetitive and there is no real engagement or reward or excitement. I think he would rather I wrote some words on the back of a wooden spoon and waved it about. He would probably rather do anything, and that says a lot as he is so eager to see what phones and games are all about.

Jolly Phonics is a programme for teaching reading and writing. It is based on a systematic synthetic phonics approach, and was developed by teachers Sue Lloyd and Sara Wernham. It is the first stage in teaching children to read and write using the 5 key skills. It focuses on direct, explicit instruction of phonemic awareness and phonics for both reading (decoding) and writing (encoding). Scientific research has consistently shown phonemic awareness to be essential for building strong reading, spelling and writing skills.

Start Your Kids' Phonics Journey Today!
Join the millions of families and educators who have embraced the Jolly Phonics programme of learning for confident readers and writers. Whether at home or in the classroom, this app makes literacy learning simple, effective and enjoyable!
Why Phonics Instead of ABC?
1. Phonics focuses on letter-sound relationships and how sounds (phonemes) make up words. It teaches kids the valuable skill of decoding, which is essential for reading and spelling fluency.
2. ABC refers to learning letters and their names rather than their sounds. Knowing the alphabet may be a precursor to phonics but doesn't directly teach reading skills.
Learning Beyond ABC!
Jolly Phonics doesn't stop at just ABC or phonemic awareness. The app offers:
1. Advanced learning strategies
2. Comprehensive handwriting exercises
3. Fun learning games designed for children to reinforce spelling and letter sounds knowledge
