Jolly Phonics Picture Flashcards

The Jolly Phonics Picture Flashcards set is a versatile and engaging resource designed to support phonics instruction for children aged 3 to 7 years. Perfect for whole-class activities, small group work, or individual learning, this set includes 60 double-sided cards that cover all 43 letter sounds taught in the Jolly Phonics programme, as well as 17 key alternative spellings. On one side of each card is a colourful picture accompanied by dots that represent the number of sounds in the word-encouraging children to segment and blend phonemes. The reverse side displays the corresponding letter sound and the word for the image, allowing for immediate self-checking and reinforcement. These flashcards help children develop phonemic awareness and decoding skills in an interactive and fun way. The set also includes a handy instruction booklet with tips and suggestions for classroom use. Each card is large and durable, measuring 14.5 cm x 10.3 cm, making them ideal for group visibility and hands-on activities. Whether used to support initial phonics instruction, practise blending and segmenting, or reinforce tricky alternative spellings, these cards offer a flexible resource that aligns with the synthetic phonics approach of Jolly Phonics. For educators seeking further guidance, training in the Jolly Phonics method is available through Jolly Learning Australia.
