Progression Map

The five basic skills in Jolly Phonics are:


1. Learning the letter sounds
2. Learning the letter formation
3. Sounding out and blending
4. Identifying sounds in words – segmenting and blending
5. Learning the Tricky Words
Step 1 (Reception):
Children in Reception should begin by learning 1 sound per day. Once they have been introduced to all 42 sounds, they should complete the cycle of step 1 again. The
children should revise 1 group of sounds per week.

Lessons should systematically teach the children each of the 5 basic skills:

Letter Sound Letter formation Sounding out and blending (to read words) Identifying sounds in words (segment and blend to write words) Tricky Words

The first 12 Tricky words should be taught in the following order.
