Description Jolly Phonics Little Word Books provide a gradual and structured start for children who are just learning to read. They give children the opportunity to apply their letter sound knowledge. These general fiction readers cover the 42 letter sounds across 14 books, with.the books progressively covering one particular group of sounds. Children can be introduced to these books as each group of sounds is taught. The text in the first two books uses only decodable regular words made up from the first group of letter sounds; the text in the next two books uses only the first and second groups of letter sounds, and so on.
