Young children enjoy crafting and taking the craft they made in class home to show everyone. The craft is a physical representation of the new sound they learned that day. Activities and games are another way of consolidating upon children’s letter sound knowledge and skills. Let’s play and learn, learn, and play. It's fun crafting with young learners as we move through the Jolly Phonics program of sounds. Training young learners to look for ‘letter sounds’ learned in class or at home, as they go from ‘a to b’ brings language learning to life. Learning our sounds becomes an enjoyable and memorable experience. With Jolly Phonics, each sound has its own action, song, and associated story. This ‘many pathways to the brain’ approach provides equal opportunities for all types of learners to make connections, whilst learning and playing. Contained within this e-book of mine you will find activity, craft and/or game suggestions that you can use when teaching each of the 42 sounds, as taught using the Jolly Phonics program. The suggestions are often interchangeable. For example: the body part movements suggested for the /s/ sound below could be applied to other sounds too.
