Phonics Videos

Synthetic phonics is a system of learning how to read based on the sounds of letters rather than their names. Instead of saying 'A' for apple, children are taught the sound of the letter 'A'. The lowercase of each letter is associated with its sound. So, children learn to read by enunciating the sounds of letters. They blend these sounds to read short words consisting of 2-3 letters and eventually, start reading longer words. It is very intuitive and a sure way of making children early readers. 
It does require patience in the beginning when the children are learning the sounds of the letters. The following videos will help your children in learning these sounds as each sound has been associated with a cute animated character. 
The order of the learning of sounds follows one of the most popular systems of synthetic phonics called Jolly Phonics. It divides the learning process into 42 sounds that include individual alphabets, (1 sound – 1 letter) and digraphs (1 sound – 2 letters) such as ch, sh, th, ee, ea, and more. This system is ideal for 3+ yrs old children. So, if you want your children to learn how to read early then start teaching them phonics. Check out my phonics videos below and Happy Learning :)

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
