The Phonics Handbook: A Handbook for Teaching Reading, Writing and Spelling (Jolly Phonics)

by: Susan M. Lloyd

February 01, 1992
I bought this book for my son who was very interested in letters and reading but was not really learning to read in nursery - i must say it's really really good. Great advice about how to approach teaching, lots of printables, colouring pages, things to stick in workbooks, tricky words - we had great fun, and very straight forward for people who're not professional teachers. This book has more than enough material that you won't need to buy anything else, but we liked it so much we bought the workbooks too.

I now use it with my second child and i'm looking to move up to the grammer handbook for my eldest.

Jolly Phonics Word Book (Jolly Phonics)

by: Susan M. Lloyd, Sara Wernham

I have been very keen to teach my son the letters of the alphabet but wanted to do it the right way. Having visited his school he will be attending next year, they do follow the Jolly phonics scheme and therefore these books have been great along with the work books. It's given me the confidence to teach and he has enjoyed the colourful pictures and tracing with his finger the letters. We are now moving on to book three after he has managed to read and write the letters in books one and two. Being a working parent and mum to a one year old aswell we are only able to do learning for an hour on a friday so these short to the point books are great. My husband also helps by going over a book for 5 mins at bedtime before reading a short story. It certainly ... Read More:

The Grammar Handbook: A Handbook for Teaching Grammar and Spelling: Bk. 1 (Jolly Grammar)

by: Susan M. Lloyd, Sara Wernham

March 13, 2000
I home-school my 3 children and have found the whole Jolly Phonics approach and series of books and aids, to be invaluable. The grammar books build naturally and smoothly on from the the Phonics handbook, with the same cheerful, fun, graspable logic. Life is made, not just easier and stress-free for your child but easier and stress-free for the parents too. Love it. Will be sticking with Jolly Phonics all through my children's early years.

Finger Phonics: Books 1-7 (Jolly Phonics)

by: Susan M. Lloyd, Sara Wernham

January 01, 1994
I would happily recommend this set of books for even the youngest of children.

They are lovely and sturdy, with inset letter(s) on each page for your child to put their finger in and trace the shape, but most importantly they don't seem like an "educational" book to children! Even without focusing on the phonics element to the books, the pages are great fun to look at just for the pictures - there are recurring characters (eg a snake) which can be searched for on each page, and 2-4 pages at the rear of each book with exercises such as matching games, some with flaps to lift, which re-inforce the sounds covered in that book.

Because of these elements, my little girl (then aged 2) enjoyed looking at them just as much as my 4 year ... Read More:

Jolly Phonics Read and See: Basic Words Pack 1 (Jolly Phonics)

by: Susan M. Lloyd, Sara Wernham

2002-01
I have used these books with my four year old son.

It must be said that they are very useful: not only am I able to test his blending skills, but he absolutely loves them. He is forever asking to read "those lift the flap books".

The level of difficulty seems to be about right, though perhaps one more book without digraphs would have been useful.

I have two criticisms to make, which have prevented me awarding these books 5 stars: they are too short, and the paper is too thin. It is actually possible to see the pictures without lifting the flaps, so I have to be very careful to cover the relevant side of the book when I'm reading with my son.
