Importance of Jolly phonics is to secure confident reading. Children who accomplish a good start in the first few years of reading are very likely to have accelerated progress in their school. Methodical approach to teaching phonics enables children to quickly become confident and independent readers. They soon move away from the mechanics of identifying and blending letter sounds (or ‘decoding’ words) and start reading fluently, even when they come across words they have never heard or seen before. If children do not learn to read, they cannot read to learn. A lack of confidence in reading skills will prevent them from following lessons at school leaving them disengaged.
