Does/has anyone used Jolly phonics with their daycare children? Particularly 2.5yr olds? My newest challenge for my daughter is to work on Jolly Phonics. I have to modify it since she can't do the worksheets yet but we printed out the phonic pictures (s and a today) and then watched the song videos.

We spent about 5 minutes on it today and my daughter has memorized the songs and the phonic sounds for these 2 letters and a list of words that start with each letter.

I am wondering if anyone has done this already and has some tips on how to proceed. I'll do the letter a day they suggest. I am just debating whether I should just do all the sounds for now. Or if I should follow the standard first set of phonics (SATIPN) and try to get her blending the sounds to read words.

I am a bit at a loss. My daughter seems to like this method for the sounds but she also memorizes sight words quickly (Dad, mom, cat, dog, car, plane, bear etc).

I would love any suggestions. I am having trouble knowing which way to go as a lot of the material depends on the children being a few years older and able to trace letters and complete worksheets which I am not really looking for right now.
