Hello friends,
Today is a very big day for all the children who have been using my worksheets to practice their phonics. I am finally finished with making my group 4. Yes, it took longer than expected. My son is in grade 9 and he was having trouble with some new maths concepts so I got busy with that along with my new online coding classes.
Group 4 in Jolly Phonics is the first group with long vowel sounds. So, what are long vowel sounds? Long vowel sounds are the sounds that say the name of the vowel. For example, both "ai" and "ay" say the name of the letter "a". Remember that in group 1 we learned that "a" has the /a/ sound that comes from our mouth when we say "ant"🐜 and "apple"🍎. This was the short vowel sound of "a". Now, children are being taught that "a" in combination with some other letter will make a long sound that is exactly like the name of the letter "a". Try saying words like paid, gain, and say. You will hear yourself saying the name of the letter "a". In the beginning, Jolly Phonics just focuses on one spelling of the long vowel sounds such as "ai". Alternate spelling such as ay and a_e are taught later.
The following image shows the seven groups of Jolly Phonics along with an extra group (alternate spellings) taught by my Phonics app on Google Play Store.
Phonics Fun is my android app available for free on Google Play Store. The entire version is completely free. It has all 42 sounds of jolly phonics along with cute pictures. The children can practice their learning by playing 16 levels of matching games! So, it is definitely a fun way of practicing phonics.
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.

So, have a further peek inside my group 4 worksheets. They follow the same pattern as my previous jolly phonics worksheets. Group 4 covers the sounds: ai, j, oa, ie, ee, or.There are matching, coloring, writing, and blending activities.
I have written an article to help parents who want to know more about jolly phonics and want their children to become early readers. Have a look at this detailed article. It explains my journey as a parent to help my child become an early reader using the wonderful power of jolly phonics along with some really cool magic key books by Oxford.
Although my phonics fun app is a fantastic and free way of learning and practicing phonics, some children still prefer paper flashcards that they can touch. So, I have also published phonics flashcards that can be easily printed, cut, and used. Have a look at them here.
Use this tutorial to turn my phonics flashcards printables into quite sturdy and waterproof store-bought quality flashcards without even using lamination.
I hope you like this effort. All my PDFs are high-quality and you just need to print and use them. Best of all, all my resources are free.Please share about my work with friends and family 😊
It is my pleasure I came across this , I have been finding it difficult with phonics I hope and believe that this will be very useful. Thanks for making it obtainable for free, more knowledge and wisdom

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 Group 1 (s, a, t,
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 previ
