This program adopts Jolly Phonics which is a whole language approach that uses thematic texts and stories, and some traditional phonics, to teach children to read and write. The aim is to learn the context of the sentences and stories to help master the nuts and bolts of literacy. Jolly Phonics pulls the words apart into sounds before blending them together into the whole word. The idea is that children will then begin to automatically blend their phonemes. In a spate of 62 contact days, the child begins to read and write.
