Jolly Phonics teaches young children the skills they need to read and write fluently in their first year of school. This book is an essential guide for teachers who want to teach the programme alongside Pupil Books 1, 2 and 3 in the classroom. It is a comprehensive resource, offering a set of structured lesson plans that give step-by-step guidance on all aspects of the lesson, including the Pupil Book activities. It also provides an in-depth introduction to Jolly Phonics and a summary of key points to help teachers get started. This new edition of the Teacher's Book has a format that is similar to previous editions, but is enhanced by: - A more concise introduction that is easy to navigate for quick retrieval of information. - New, improved content, including scope and sequences for Steps 1 to 3, summaries of case studies from around the world, an English alphabetic code chart, a pupil checklist, information on the new Pink Level readers, detailed guidance on how to help struggling readers, and updated lesson plans. - A brief overview of the Science of Reading and the Science of Writing and how Jolly Phonics aligns with both, as a programme that provides explicit teaching of phonemic awareness, alongside systematic phonics and writing instruction, with a focus on improving fluency, vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension. - Advice on what to teach after Jolly Phonics, with a brief summary of Jolly Literacy and its two core programmes: Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation (formerly Jolly Grammar) and Reading Comprehension & Writing Skills.
