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, a pupil checklist, an English alphabetic code chart, 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, providing explicit teaching of phonemic awareness, systematic phonics and writing instruction. - Advice on what to teach after Jolly Phonics, with a brief summary of Jolly Literacy and its two core programmes: Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation and Reading Comprehension & Writing Skills.
