Our review
Each small Jolly Phonics book presents a decodable word, then uses a fold-out picture to confirm what was read. The delayed image rewards blending without letting the illustration supply the answer first, and the sequence follows sounds already taught through the Jolly approach.
Ask for one clean blend before opening the flap; repeated memorized runs no longer show decoding. Read Write Inc. Sound Blending Books are plainer and more intensive. Read and See is the more game-like option for a child using Jolly’s 42-sound sequence.
Before you buy it
The books depend on the Jolly sound order and intact foldouts; they are word-level practice, not full stories.
