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.

Pupil Books
The Jolly Phonics Pupil Books align closely with the programme, providing structured, write-in activities that support and consolidate daily phonics teaching. They offer pupils regular practice with reading, spelling and independent writing, helping to reinforce letter–sound knowledge, tricky words and key skills at each stage.
