Jolly Phonics Group 6 Worksheets

-
Hello friends,

As you know I have already published many worksheets on phonics along with my Phonics Fun app but while making my worksheets for Group 6, I thought that today, I should talk again about phonics and how productive they are in helping your children/students read.

What is Phonics?
Phonics is a method of teaching children to read by connecting the sounds of spoken language with letters or groups of letters that represent those sounds. Phonics focuses on the relationship between letters and sounds, and how they work together to form words. By learning to identify the sounds that letters make, children can read and spell words more accurately.

Why is Phonics Important?
Phonics is an essential foundation for reading and writing. It helps children to develop the skills they need to decode words and understand how language works. By learning phonics, children will become more confident readers and writers, which will help them succeed in school and in life.

How to Teach Phonics to Kids?
There are various methods for teaching phonics to kids, but I am personally inclined towards the system of Jolly Phonics. They have associated letter sounds with actions but I really like their order of teaching. For example, they teach the sounds of the letters s, a, t, i, p, and n first. These letters make the most 2 and 3-lettered words so children can start blending and reading words like it, sit, pan, mat, etc. very early.

So, how to help your children learn phonics or facilitate and reinforce their learning in school?

Start with the basics: 
Teach your child the names of the letters and the sounds they make. This will help them recognize the letters in words and understand how they are pronounced. Use flashcards or my phonics app for this purpose and test their learning by using the same app or my worksheets. I have also published phonics flashcards that can be easily printed, cut, and used. Have a look at them here.

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 the 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.

Start blending:
Once the children have learned at least one group of phonics sounds, you should practice blending or merging. Blending takes time so patience is essential. Here the following tip will help.
Read aloud:
Read to your child regularly and encourage them to read aloud. When you will decode colorful, vibrant books in front of them, they will be encouraged to blend and read too. This will help them develop their phonics skills and improve their reading fluency.
Practice, practice, practice: 
Phonics is a skill that takes time and practice to master. Encourage your child to practice their phonics skills every day. 

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.

Phonics is a fundamental skill that every child needs to learn. By teaching phonics to your child, you'll help them become confident readers and writers. Use the tips above to get started and have fun!
Use this tutorial to turn my phonics flashcards printables into quite sturdy and waterproof store-bought quality flashcards without even using lamination.


Now, coming back to my Phonics Group 6 worksheets: They follow the same pattern as my previous Jolly Phonics worksheets. There are matching, coloring, writing, and blending activities.  Group 6 covers the sounds: y, x, sh, ch, Hard th, and soft th. Hard th sound is a voiced sound that comes in words like leather, father, then, the, mother, etc. Soft th is a voiceless sound that comes in words like thumb, three, moth, etc. 
All my PDFs are high-quality and you just need to print and use them. Please share about my work with friends and family  😊

Jolly Phonics Group 1

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,

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 previ
