Jolly Songs: in Precursive Letters , Cover May Vary, (British English edition): in Precursive Letters (British English edition)

My 16 month old loves this. It's lively and fun and well recorded. The sounds are pronounced correctly. We play it in the car and at home and she knows quite a few of the actions to the songs. I am a teacher and I listened to it and read the book many times so that I can sing it for her and do the actions. She knows m, l, s, t, p, a, e, g and h from using this in conjunction with other learning tools. A fantastic resource!

We bought this to introduce the phonics sounds to my little girl. She is only 18m so didn't want to actively teach her, but we play this in the car. Firstly (and most importantly) she really enjoys the songs. She asks for it if the radio is on! Secondly, she joins in with odd words she knows or has picked up from the cd or with sounds. The tunes are catchy so will stick in yours and their heads for reference when they get stuck on a sound.There is a section at the end which says each sound clearly alongside a word including that sound. This is invaluable to parents who were not taught using this method and can be applied when your child starts reading and gets stuck to help them 'sound out' the letters.There is an accompanying book with lyrics to each song and lovely illustrations. It is quite flimsy,which will be fine for slightly older children. For now this is stored away for when she is older.I anticipate using this more in the run up to starting primary when we will make use of the book. There are flash cards available too which can be used alongside this to teach letter recognition and formation. A fun and engaging way to learn those all important sounds that unlock reading.

The book with cd was delivered very quickly, in fact I was surprised at the speedy delivery. The book is lovely and my nearly 5 year old grandson loves singing along to the jolly phonics songs. I would recommend this book

I bought this to help my grandson with his phonics!

Great cd. Works well alongside learning at school. Would have liked the option for the letters to be sung in alphabetical order too. Here they are sung as they are taught phonetically...e.g. S first (along with the song the snake is in the grass) , then A (Ants up my arm).

All nurseries and schools are different, but the Jolly Phonics system is what was used by the nursery that my daughter first attended to learn phonics / sounds. She used to come home singing some of the songs and then we bought the book ourselves and used to listen to the CD in the car whilst my daughter turned the pages in the book. She absolutely loves these songs and book and I think they are a great resource for teaching phonics to very young children in a fun and entertaining way. My daughter actually first started learning these songs at nursery at the age of 2. All of the songs have simple actions to them that the children can join in with. As an adult, you may not think, at first glance, that all the pictures in the book correctly represent the phonetic it represents, but it will match the words to the song that do definitely match the phonetic being taught. I love this book and CD!

This is a great way to introduce phonics to your little ones. My daughter wasn't interested in learning her letter sounds so I started building my Jolly Phonics collection. We often sit together listening, reading and singing this and she enjoys it thoroughly. After only a few weeks she has started singing the verses herself while she plays and even asks to put the CD on!I found it much easier with my 3-year-old in the beginning to put each track on repeat 3 or 4 times to get the tune to 'sink in', and to introduce a few letters at a time.I was advised to invest in Jolly Phonics by a teacher at my daughter's pre-school because the local schools use the phonics teaching system. I have found it very useful because now I know I can help her at home with the same system so that she does not become confused.With our progress so far I can highly recommend this series too!

I'm not a special advocate of 'teaching small children to read' but if they enjoy it you had better use same system they will meet in school later. My 3year and 5 month old loves this CD and book. She puts it on then sits with the book in front of her and reads the phonic sound in advance of each song and sings along with the song. Yes, the songs are short but that actually seems to be what is needed.There are surprisingly few materials available that use the phonics systen that the children will meet in primary school, but this is one of them. The Mr. Men Alphabet Hunt is also good although the phonetic sounds are slightly different. Beware of CDs that say they use phonics but actually use the letter names (BEE CEE DEE) not the phonetic sound.

I love these product it came in excellent condition and it was just what I wanted. Thank you.

It is a very i formative cd and my son enjoys listening to jolly phonics as he is taught the same way in school as well.

Libro e cd di canzoni in inglese utilizzati da mia figlia in prima elementare per un corso di inglese extrascolastico. Semplice e divertente

評価につられ、幼児の英語家庭学習に購入。フォニックスはleapfrog letter factory のDVDを先に購入していて、アルファベットごとの音は慣れていました。★よいと思うところ・長母音やthなど二文字のものもある・一曲が短く、知っている曲の替え歌・イラストが雰囲気あってよい。特にネズミと蜂が色々なところにこっそりいて探すのが楽しい・文字ごとに、簡単な振り付けの指示がある →その点で恥ずかしがらずやれる低年齢のうちに導入をおすすめ・発展的な学習方法が少し記されている・価格★注意点・イギリス英語！ アメリカ英語との混合に注意。聞いていると発音に違いを感じます。。。子どもが混乱する可能性あり・冊子のサイズが大きく、携帯には不向き →小さいスクラップ帳に書き写しました・馴染みのある曲ばかりかと思いきや知らないものも結構あり →何度も聞いてたら慣れた・フォニックスを意識するがあまり？馴染みのない単語、こんな使い方するんだ！っていう単語がたまにある★総合的には、この価格で楽しめて満足しています。イギリス英語であることを考慮して、よければおすすめします。

The songs are great but with the British pronunciations, the CD is not totally usable as a phoneme teaching tool for my preschool classroom here in the US
