Jolly Phonics Flash Cards

-

Gone are the days of A for apple, B for Ball...this is the time of synthetic phonics where each alphabet has a sound. Now, you don't teach children the name of the letter but the sound made by the letter. A has the sound that comes when we say the word apple, b has the sound that comes when we say bed, and so on and so forth. There are different systems of synthetic phonics but I have felt that Jolly Phonics is the best system. In fact, I made my first mobile app for my son based on the Jolly Phonics style of teaching. However, I know that many people want to limit screen exposure for their children so I decided to make these flashcards. 

You can use these flashcards independently or you can use them along with my app called Phonics Fun, available on the Google Play Store.

You can hear the sounds from my app. Practice using these flashcards and then, test learning using my app too...a win-win situation :)

The Jolly Phonics flash cards are double-sided. I have told you in my previous articles about how you can use my double-sided cards. If you have never used my double-sided cards, then check them out below for a fun learning experience for your children:

So, let me tell you how you can use my double-sided flashcards:

How to Use:

Cut out an A4 size cardboard paper or you can even recycle an empty cereal box. Cut in the middle lengthwise. Print out the flashcards on A4 size paper.

If you like doing worksheets with your children, then as a parent I would personally recommend purchasing an inktank printer such as Canon's megatank printer. I am in love with how economical and efficient these new ink tank printers are; the printer has made my life so much easier as I don't have to rush to the market to get printouts and the printer doesn't even require frequent refills: a win-win situation! The following printer is available on Amazon so just click here to purchase it from the comfort of your home and get it delivered to your home easily and conveniently.

Put a piece of cardboard in the middle of the printed paper and glue the paper around it. Cut out the flashcards. You will get four double-sided flashcards from each printout. You can make all flashcards waterproof by covering them with Scotch tape. 
Each flashcard has a picture on one side with its phonemes drawn as dots. The child has to tell the sound for the red dot. The other side of the card has the letter (consonant or vowel) or digraph or trigraph along with the name of the picture. I have used the Jolly Phonics order to make these cards but you can use these cards in any order. I would recommend the Jolly Phonics order because the children can start blending sounds to read words very quickly. If you want to know more about phonics, then read my detailed article on this topic:

So, without further ado, let me present a bird's eye view of what you will get inside the pdf for the Phonics Flash Cards.

Free Jolly Phonics Group 1 worksheets (s, a, t, i, p, n) According to Oxford Dictionary, phonics is a "method of teaching people to read by correlating sounds with symbols in an alphabetic writing system". In simple words, each letter of the alphabet has a sound. Instead of teaching young children the names of these alphabets, the sounds are taught. For example "a" makes the sound /a/...this is exactly the sound that comes from your mouth in the beginning when you say the word " apple " or " ant ". The letter "a" makes a different sound in words like " arm " and " ate " but these rules are taught later.  Jolly Phonics is a synthetic phonics system where all the letters of the alphabet have been split into seven groups. Each group contains 6 letters or their combinations so a total of 42 sounds are taught. What do I mean by a combination of letters? Remember that the combination of letters "s" and "h...

Free Jolly Phonics Group 2 worksheets (c/k, e, h, r, m, d) Hello Friends, I am back with another set of worksheets for helping children learn their phonics sounds. As you might already know, I am a strong proponent of the Jolly Phonics system of synthetic phonics sounds. Jolly Phonics system follows a particular order of teaching alphabet sounds in which there are seven groups. The following image shows the seven groups of Jolly Phonics along with an extra group taught by my Phonics app on Google Play Store. My app called  Phonics Fun  is 100% Free so you can download it and use it on all your Android devices.  It teaches all the letter sounds and different phonics rules and follows the pattern of Jolly Phonics but it is available for free. It is the perfect way to master phonics as you can hear phonics sounds and also test learning by playing many matching games. Coming back to printable Jolly phonics worksheets, I have already published worksheets for practicing...
