Both Jolly Phonics and Read, Write, Inc. are a synthetic phonics programme that teaches children to read and write using a multi-sensory approach. The programme is based on the principle that children learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process.
They use a variety of activities to help children learn the 42 sounds of the English language. These activities include:
Action songs: Each sound has its own action song, which helps children to associate the sound with a physical movement.
Picture cards: Children are shown picture cards that represent the sounds they are learning. This helps them to visualize the sounds and make connections between the sounds and the letters that represent them.
Rhymes and stories: They use a variety of rhymes and stories to help children practice the sounds they are learning. This makes the learning process more fun and engaging.
