At Little Grasshopper, we believe that the early years of education are not just about learning—they’re about laying the groundwork for life. One of the most powerful tools in this journey is Jolly Phonics—a dynamic, multi-sensory method that has transformed how we approach early literacy. From developing sounds to combining actions and blending, Jolly Phonics creates confident, joyful readers who don’t just learn to decode words—they understand how reading works.
But here’s the key: for Jolly Phonics to work its magic, it must be taught well. That’s why teaching teachers to teach is at the heart of everything we do. From our phonics classes online to our phonics certification course, we ensure that the power of Jolly Phonics reaches every child—whether they’re in a classroom, a home corner, or learning through a screen.
Let’s take you through how Jolly Phonics sets children up for success—and how we at Little Grasshopper are shaping the next generation of teachers and readers.
Jolly Phonics isn’t just another phonics program—it’s a carefully crafted system that introduces the 42 main sounds of English in a fun, structured, and multisensory way. It empowers children to see, hear, move, and engage as they learn, ensuring that literacy is not just a mental exercise but a physical, emotional, and joyful experience.
Each sound is introduced with:
This approach doesn’t just help children learn sounds. It helps them remember, use, and apply them independently.
Young children are wired to learn through movement and play. Jolly Phonics uses this to full advantage by linking every sound to an action.
When a child makes a snake-like motion while saying /s/, or pretends to fly like a bee while practicing /z/, they’re not just having fun—they’re forming neurological connections between sound, symbol, and muscle memory.
Through our phonics English classes and phonics teaching online, we make sure that these actions are delivered with consistency and clarity. Parents and teachers learn how and when to use them, so that children can build fluency from day one.
Blending is at the heart of Jolly Phonics. It’s what turns isolated sounds into meaningful words. And it’s one of the most common stumbling blocks if not taught well.
That’s why our phonics online course places a strong emphasis on teaching blending—not as a one-time lesson, but as a daily practice. We show teachers how to:
With the right tools, every adult can become a confident reading guide. Whether you’re a parent leading phonics classes at home or a teacher managing a group session, we provide the framework to make blending both effective and fun.
Jolly Phonics also addresses irregular high-frequency words—those that don’t follow regular phonics rules, like “said” or “was.” These are known as “tricky words,” and mastering them is essential for fluent reading.
In our online training for teachers, we equip educators with strategies to teach tricky words through repetition, visual memory cues, and contextual reading. Our approach removes frustration and replaces it with confidence—both for the child and the adult guiding them.
The success of Jolly Phonics hinges on one thing: the skill of the person teaching it. That’s why, at Little Grasshopper, our mission is rooted in teaching teachers to teach.
Whether you’re a seasoned educator, a new parent, or someone transitioning into early education, our teacher training course online is designed to empower you.
We go beyond content delivery—we develop true phonics leaders. Here’s what you’ll learn:
✔ Mastery of all 42 sounds and how to teach them
✔ Techniques for effective blending and segmenting
✔ Methods for teaching tricky words
✔ Ways to build daily reading routines
✔ Real-time error correction and scaffolding
✔ Child-friendly assessments for tracking progress
Education today is flexible, global, and often digital. That’s why we’ve built a suite of phonics classes online that reflect this reality—while staying true to the principles of Jolly Phonics.
Our phonics teaching online is:
✅ Interactive – Children engage with sounds, songs, stories, and actions through videos, games, and printable resources
✅ Structured – Every lesson builds on the last, following a clear progression from simple to complex sounds
✅ Customizable – Whether you’re running phonics and reading classes in a school or doing phonics classes at home, our resources are adaptable
✅ Aligned with Training – All materials sync with what we teach in our phonics certification course, so there’s no disconnect between learning and teaching
Our goal is to make Jolly Phonics easy to deliver—and hard to forget.
Parents are a child’s first and most important teachers. That’s why we’ve designed our phonics classes at home to be parent-friendly and child-approved.
Each lesson comes with:
You don’t need a teaching background. With our support, you’ll feel ready to guide your child through the exciting world of sounds, actions, and stories. And for those looking to take it a step further, our teacher training course online is the perfect next step.

💬 “Now I feel like I can make every sound come alive for my students.”
💬 “The progress in my classroom is incredible. Kids are blending and reading faster than ever.”
When teachers thrive, children soar. That’s why everything we do comes back to one principle: teaching teachers to teach.
