Jolly Songs: Book & CD in Print Letters (American English Edition) (Jolly Phonics) Paperback – January 1, 2005

Although I'm not impressed with the illustrations, the children do like them. The short songs about phonics set to classic children's melodies ("Skip to My Lou", "Farmer in the Dell", etc.) help both younger children learning to read and older ones who have struggled to remember basic phonics. The only negative side effect is that adults will also end up with the songs on a repeating loop in their brain. "Ants, ants, ants on my arm..." :)Jolly Phonics works better than other systems I've tried. It is worth the cost. What more needs to be said?There is both a British and American version of the songs, so be sure to get the one you need.

My sons teacher requested we buy this for the kids to start learning the sounds. As soon as I started it, my son was interested in it and he requests it in the car all the time! However for parents, expect to have these songs pop in your head randomly with no way of getting them out!

I ordered the "Jolly Songs: Book & CD in Print Letters (American English Edition) (Jolly Phonics)," to used in my classroom (special education). However, the CD is blank. It also meant that it cannot be downloaded since it is blank. Eventually, based on another review, this has happen and even though reviews are written, the company seems to ignored that the customer is not receiving what was paid for. I am very disappointed in this product. I will pass the word for other to be careful about ordering this item.

These songs are easy to learn and remember. My 2 year old loves listening to the CD. Great in my preschool class (kids age 3 and 4) as well. Highly recommend.

This book only provides the lyrics to the songs. I was disappointed that the product photo shows a CD yet there’s no CD on arrival. As an educator that forced me to search out the music elsewhere. I finally found the music on YouTube under the titles Jolly Songs 1 and Jolly Songs 2. I gave the product three stars for the false advertising. Great phonics songs that help with sound recognition and retention.

Great book and cd. Exactly what I wanted. The music along with the words to the song make it easier to help teach the kids they’re sounds.

Perfect fit

I bought this book to use with my 3-6yo classroom, and the songs are good, but it did not come with the CD.
