If you work in Early Years or Primary education you will know all about phonics. Phonics is a method used for teaching reading and writing of the English language and helps children develop phonemic awareness – how letters sound. In Jolly Phonics there are 42 letter sounds which are shown in groups in the table below.
These sounds are very important in the English language and songs and rhymes are fantastic for developing phonemic awareness.
You can hear the sounds here

Just like in Jolly Phonics, where learning is multi sensory, learning songs and rhymes using the Kodály approach is also multi sensory. Jolly Music is a fantastic selection of books in the Jolly learning series written by top British Kodály tutors Cyrilla Rowsell and David Vinden.
Here are my top songs and rhymes for helping children’s speech and phonemic awareness of course there are many, many more! I have highlighted some of the sounds to show you where they occur.
