Jolly songs - By: Books Maiden, 24 Feb 2008 
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 & my 3 1/2 year old seems to enjoy the tunes. Perhaps 'short & sweet' is best for the little ones? Overall good value for money.
Not so jolly songs - By: Erica, 11 Jan 2008 
I was very disappointedin this cd. The songs are far too short which makes for very stilted listening/singing along. It would be much improved if each letter was repeated several times or if the groups of letters were grouped as one song. As it stands you find yourself singing along for a few seconds, stopping & then along comes another one.
Jolly Good Book & CD!! - By: McColey, 30 Nov 2007 
This is a great way to introduce phonics to your little ones. My daughter wasn't interestedin learning her letter sounds so I started building my Jolly Phonics collection. We often sit together listening, reading & singing this & she enjoys it thoroughly. After only a few weeks she has started singing the verses herself while she plays & even asks to put the CD on!
I found it much easier with my 3-year-oldin the beginning to put each track on repeat 3 or 4 times to get the tune to 'sink in', & to introduce a few letters at a time.
I was advised to investin 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!
Sing and learn all the phonic sounds - By: OrganicGreen, 14 Aug 2007 I was not sure how to teach the phonic sounds & 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.
