Meet Danny Cool and his fun loving family!

Danny lives in a quaint village in south County Dublin. He is a spur of the moment kind of guy, but also a true family man. Danny loves his food but really dislikes a disorganised house. Unfortunately their house is pretty chaotic. The Cool family are a busy family where things can sometimes go wrong!

Danny Cool and his family are to star in a book series designed to introduce children from 4 - 12 to the French Language in a lighthearted way.

In this first book “Bonjour”, set in Ireland, Danny Cool introduces himself and his fun loving family.

Jolly Phonics has become one of the leading programmes for teaching young children to read and write in Irish Primary Schools. There are a range of support materials for the programme suitable for home use including -

Jolly Stories; by reading the Jolly Stories to your child you will introduce all 42 letter sounds through a series of enchanting stories. There are also a number of activities on each page that can be completed with the child to encourage listening and blending of sounds.

Jolly Phonics DVD and Jolly Songs; enjoy watching the adventures of Inky Mouse and her friends as they learn to read and write in the Jolly Phonics DVD. The Jolly Songs is a collection of tunes for each of the 42 letter sounds that provide practice at saying the sounds.

Jolly Phonics Letter Sound Poster; this can be placed around the home and shows all the letter sounds with a reminder of the action.

Jolly Phonics Games CD; contains 20 Games which will help children practice and revise their phonic knowledge in a fun way. The games are available in different levels, enabling you to select the correct level for the child.

Jolly Phonics Activity books;  Children can be guided through the Jolly Phonics Activity books when blending and listening for sounds in words has developed, and the child has enough pencil control.

We have included a copy of the current Jolly Phonics catalogue below for you to download along with a copy of the parents guide for your information.
