Why this matters now

In July 2025, the UK Government released the Writing Framework. It highlights the importance of:

  • Explicit handwriting and spelling instruction from Reception
  • Oral composition before extended writing
  • Mastery of sentence structure
  • Cumulative practice through dictation
  • Motivation through visible writing success

Jolly Learning’s approach supports these priorities and has done since we launched our first programme. Our resources are ready to help your school meet and exceed the expectations in the new framework, from the earliest stages of writing through to spelling, grammar and creative composition.

    The Jolly Phonics Pupil Books align closely with the programme, providing structured, write-in activities that support and consolidate daily phonics teaching.
