Jolly Songs (Jolly Phonics)

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

I have been using the Jolly Songs CD for years. My kindergartners love the songs and they memorize letter sounds very quickly with them. We do one new letter sound each day starting on the second day of school. The only reason I did not give the review 5 stars is because the book is small,not a big book. Jolly Jingles is in big book form but I don't like the songs on that CD. My compromise was to write out the words of the Jolly Songs and glue them into the Jolly Jingles big book. The other kindergarten teacher at my school has the Finger Phonics big books and uses those with the Jolly Songs CD. The other essential jolly phonics items are the Jolly Phonics Wall Frieze, Jolly Phonics DVD, and The Phonics Handbook.

This jolly phonics book did not come with a CD. I was counting on it so that we could begin our program. I am very disappointed and frustrated. I will never order from this person again!

Received the book without the CD attached. E-mailed the supplier but have not gotten a reply as yet. Utterly frustrating.

CD doesnt work in car which is what I was buying for as it says its a CDrom?

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.

Es el segundo ejemplar que compro de este mismo libro.Además de haber encontrado el producto a un precio muy acertado ,la recepcion fue en poco tiempo.La experiencia de mis hijos ha sido muy satisfactoria ya que tambien se combinaba con tenerlo en el colegio. Poco a poco les hace memorizar a través de las canciones las vocales y la pronunciación en ingles de forma identica al disco. Además de tener ilustraciones descriptivas y adecuadas a su edad potenciando la visualización y el recuerdo del mensaje , el tamaño de las letras es adecuado para niños de esa edad(3-4) que están empezando a reconocer las letras y aprendiendo a leer. Todo positivo y recomiendo a los padres que lo compren si quieren escuchar a sus hijos cantar en ingles de forma lúdica y divertida.

My kids love this CD and its educational... win-win!

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!
