Jolly Phonics
Jolly Learning was founded in 1987 and started selling the first of the Jolly Phonics products five years later. It uses the synthetic phonics method of teaching the letter sounds in a way that is fun and multi-sensory, enabling children to become fluent readers.
Since then we have been part of the remarkable transition that has made this kind of teaching mainstream around the world.
We not only publish materials for the teaching of literacy, but also for teaching music skills. They are used in over 100 countries around the world with some adopting Jolly Phonics as government policy.

What homeschoolers say about Jolly Phonics
Homeschoolers generally appreciate Jolly Phonics for its multisensory, systematic approach to teaching phonics, which many find effective for early readers. The program is praised for engaging materials like songs, actions, and games that help children remember letter sounds. However, some parents note that it requires consistent, hands-on involvement and may be less suitable for older beginners or those needing more comprehensive reading instruction. While the price is considered reasonable for the quality, a few users mention that additional resources might be needed to supplement comprehension and fluency practice.
