Product Description

Parents, March 1994

'Each of the seven colourful books features a selection of the 40-plus sounds which are found in the middle or end of a word - e.g. the combination 'oa'. Your child is encouraged to make an action for each illustrated sound while saying it. Sandy Chapman, a primary school teacher with three daughters, reviewed the books. She said, "My daughter Sarah, who is four, really enjoyed them. The idea of running your finger along the letters is excellent for teaching writing.'


Parent's comments, Right Start, June/July 1994

'The action and sound in the Finger Phonics books is very clever and caught Emily's imagination ... the books are attractive and sturdy enough to keep coming back to.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Learning Books!!, 3 Aug 2005
By Mrs T Stokes (Weston-super-Mare, Somerset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I am a big fan of these books. The series comes in a set of 7 books each with a small selection of different letters from the alphabet to learn. There are simple activities to do at the end of each book to round up what you have learnt. There are also cut out letter shapes to show little fingers the correct way to form each letter.
My 4 year old son has got on so well with these I was amazed. The actions that go with the sounds the letters make, (eg. pretend to puff out candles and say p,p,p,p. and Hold hand in front of mouth panting as if you are out of breath and say h,h,h,h.) turn this into a fun and memorable way of learning.
My son will be prepared for reading and spelling at school now and it's thanks to these books that he wants to learn. I would thoroughly recommend them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for your pre-schooler and beyond, 2 April 2008
By S. Butterfield (West Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I would happily recommend this set of books for even the youngest of children.

They are lovely and sturdy, with inset letter(s) on each page for your child to put their finger in and trace the shape, but most importantly they don't seem like an "educational" book to children! Even without focusing on the phonics element to the books, the pages are great fun to look at just for the pictures - there are recurring characters (eg a snake) which can be searched for on each page, and 2-4 pages at the rear of each book with exercises such as matching games, some with flaps to lift, which re-inforce the sounds covered in that book.

Because of these elements, my little girl (then aged 2) enjoyed looking at them just as much as my 4 year old son, who'd just started in reception class at school when I bought these 6 months ago to supplement his learning to read. My only wish is that I had bought them 2 years before when he was a pre-schooler, as it would have introduced the jolly phonics concepts that he is now learning at an earlier age.

Highly recommended to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Books, 12 Jan 2008
By G. Stephen (Arbroath, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Both my children have learned to read using the jolly phonic system. These books are hardback so stay in good condition. They also go hand in hand with the work book set (worth buying at the same time). Price is very reasonable considering that reading is one of the best skills a child can have.
