Kia ora Totara Park community,

We have uploaded this 'Jolly Phonics' YouTube as a learning tool that can be enjoyed at home. These phonics are the same phonic sounds that we use at kindergarten. We have posted this as a fun way of learning, because if something is fun, it is more likely to be remembered. It could be played in the background while your having a snack together with your child, for example. The trick is to keep it enjoyable.

"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning.   Play is really the work of childhood.”  Fred Rogers
