What does the course cover?
Children learn to recognise all the letters of the alphabet, and how to use the letter sounds to read and spell, as well as developing visual, listening and memory skills, and becoming familiar with some sight-words.
The facility to report on your child's progress during the course allows some customisation of activities to suit the individual. For example, you would have the opportunity to let us know (usually via email) which of a specific group of letters your child finds it tricky to recognise/remember. We could then produce a fun activity, especially for your child, targeting these specific letters.
What type of activities are provided?

A typical pack will contain:
- an original Jolly Phonics craft activity, which makes a powerful contribution to letter recognition and recall of sounds
- a writing practice page, to be completed and compiled into a sounds booklet - this is used to extend vocabulary and develop the auditory skills needed for spelling
- a card 'cut-out', building up a collection of letters in a special bag - ideal for practising letter sounds and making words
- a fun work-sheet, practising reading/spelling skills; developing visual skills, or practising forming letters correctly to write your name.
- a blending activity
- sight-word cards
- a game to provide revision of previous letters introduced
- suggestions for extra activities, stories or internet games to further enhance phonic and pre-reading skills
Is my child ready for this course?
The recommended starting age is 3½ to 4 years. The optimum age for a particular child is partly dependent upon the child's ability to maintain concentration for short periods, although each pack comprises many, relatively brief activities, which can be tackled separately if the attention span is limited.
The type of activities provided in the postal packs will usually attract even the most active of children, who gradually become accustomed to focussing for longer periods, and thus benefit from an improvement in concentration.
How much does the course cost?
The total cost of 6 packs (one module) is £78, inclusive of postage and packing. This is payable in advance.
