Below is a youtube link for all the Jolly Phonics letter sounds that your child will be doing in Junior Infants. It really helps to practice the rhyme and the actions that go with each sound they are learning!
In their homework folder they will have their Jolly Phonics Soundbooks (the little red ones) and their Reading Record book and copy (the purple ones). For more information on how to complete these homework tasks please go to the 'Jolly Phonics' and 'Reading Record' headings.

These sounds form the foundation of your child's reading.
Reading Record Read the new story with your child and complete the 'My Favourite Part' on one page of the copy.
Extra Sheets The children have a sheet to practice writing their names in cursive writing. They should try to copy a few names every night. The sheet can be completed over two weeks. The children will also get a worksheet to
complete by the Thursday. This will be either handwriting/ Jolly Phonics or
maths.
