Reviews of: Jolly Songs (Jolly Phonics)by
Reviews I need help! HI! I knew this method last year working at a school, but now I need the lyrics of the songs (although they're really easy) and I'm not sure if I can find them in this book. Thanks in advance! 2008-11-12 Entertaining and educational I'm not a special advocate of 'teaching small children to read' but if they enjoy it you had better use same system they will meet in school later. My 3year and 5 month old loves this CD and book. She puts it on then sits with the book in front of her and reads the phonic sound in advance of each song and sings along with the song. Yes, the songs are short but that actually seems to be what is needed. There are surprisingly few materials available that use the phonics systen that the children will meet in primary school, but this is one of them. The Mr. Men Alphabet Hunt is also good although the phonetic sounds are slightly different. Beware of CDs that say they use phonics but actually use the letter names (BEE CEE DEE) not the phonetic sound. 2008-11-11 Great C.D. to accompany Jolly Phonics This is a great resource to accompany the Jolly Phonics programme. The children enjoy learning a new song a day to compliment the new sound they have learned. The songs help to reinforce the sounds taught. I am a teacher and I use this C.D. in my teaching each day but I think it would be a good investment for parents of children who are learning Jolly Phonics at school. 2008-11-10 A jolly good resource - but needs lots of repetition! This collection of songs designed to accompany the 'Jolly Phonics' synthetic phonics scheme is a useful resource for teachers, classroom assistants and parents alike. The songs feature (largely) familiar tunes with a simple new lyric designed for each letter sound (as well as for combination sounds and a couple of 'revision' songs at the end of the collection). The collection is handy for adding another item to a teacher's resources supporting phonics-based learning and the accompanying CD gives clear examples of the target sounds being accurately used. The latter is invaluable for those wanting to support children's learning, but worried about 'getting it wrong'. Although the CD gives clear examples of the songs in performance, this is perhaps best used for adults to accustom themselves to the songs or as a revision tool (unless you're prepared to make heavy use of the 'repeat' button on your CD player). The songs themselves are short - each one only seconds long. This isn't all bad, since they're easy for children to pick up, but does mean that the support for the 'next' letter-sound comes far too rapidly if you simply put the disc on to play. 2008-11-04 Excellent for children in foundation learning I have two children one is aged 18 months and one aged 4 1/2 and they both love the jolly phonics songs. Other people have posted that they are short but this is the beauty of it. You can play them in the car on repeat and they pick them up so quickly. Also the book that accompanies the CD helps parents to teach children the actions so that they remember the sounds. My son is about to start Jolly Phonics in school and this is the perfect tool for me to be able to aid that learning!!!! 2008-11-03 |
