Sing and learn all the phonic sounds
I was not sure how to teach the phonic sounds and also I did not know how to sound each letter etc. When you play the cd you learn the songs with your child & the letter sound. I used this along with the finger phonics books, then later on the phonics poster. We have both learnt the sounds together.

Jolly Good Book & CD!!
This is a great way to introduce phonics to your little ones. My daughter wasn't interested in learning her letter sounds so I started building my Jolly Phonics collection. We often sit together listening, reading and singing this and she enjoys it thoroughly. After only a few weeks she has started singing the verses herself while she plays and even asks to put the CD on!

I found it much easier with my 3-year-old in the beginning to put each track on repeat 3 or 4 times to get the tune to 'sink in', and to introduce a few letters at a time.

I was advised to invest in Jolly Phonics by a teacher at my daughter's pre-school because the local schools use the phonics teaching system. I have found it very useful because now I know I can help her at home with the same system so that she does not become confused.

With our progress so far I can highly recommend this series too!

Jolly songs
The tunes are catchy as the words have been put to well known tunes but they are so short for each letter, which was a bit disappointing. The book is good and my 3 1/2 year old seems to enjoy the tunes. Perhaps 'short and sweet' is best for the little ones? Overall good value for money.
