JOLLY PHONICS- Learning Letter Sounds

This is a collection of songs from the book Jolly Songs. There is also a CD which contains all the songs. The songs teach letter recognition, and letter sounds, and links them to an action to help children remember letter-sound associations. Although the letter Qq is missing, it is a fun and engaging way to learn letter sounds! Enjoy!
