Jolly English is an Early Years programme that lays the foundation for phonics and literacy development. It is carefully structured to introduce young children to English through rich vocabulary, songs, stories and activities that nurture listening and speaking skills.
Specifically designed for children who are learning English as a Second Language, it supports the development of key language skills while gently introducing the 42 sounds of English in preparation for the next stage: Jolly Phonics.
