Jolly Phonics Wall Frieze 9.33 Metres

The Jolly Phonics Wall Frieze is a vibrant and versatile classroom resource designed to support the teaching of all 42 letter sounds, moving beyond the traditional alphabet approach. Spanning an impressive 9.33 metres in total, the frieze comes in seven sections, which can be displayed together as one continuous strip or used individually for more focused learning. Each sound is illustrated with a colourful image that corresponds to the Jolly Phonics action, supporting a multi-sensory learning experience that engages visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic learners. The frieze also allows for flexibility-each picture can be cut out and used separately as flashcards or as part of phonics games and small group activities. It makes an excellent visual reference for both classroom-wide and one-on-one instruction, reinforcing sound-symbol relationships in a way that is fun and accessible. As part of the broader Jolly Phonics programme, this wall frieze enhances literacy instruction through synthetic phonics, helping children to decode and blend sounds more effectively. Ideal for use with students aged 4 years and above, it also transitions seamlessly into Jolly Grammar, which builds on early phonics skills with structured instruction in grammar, punctuation and spelling for students aged 5 to 10. For professional development, Jolly Phonics training is available via Jolly Learning Australia.
