J-J-Jumper! Penny's Christmas Phonics Song
A festive phonics song for preschool and Reception: Penny Periwinkle's shell twirls into the letter J. Listen for the /j/ sound in jumper, jingle and jolly, then play the yes-or-no sound game.

Penny Periwinkle
Penny Periwinkle is a patient, curious snail with round glasses and a satchel full of chalks. In every episode her spiral shell twirls into the letter of the day, and she goes looking for three things that start with its sound. Slow and steady is Penny's way – she says each sound three times and cheers every try.

All about Penny

Looks like: A mint-green snail with a big periwinkle-purple spiral shell, round glasses and a coral satchel.
Sounds like: A clear, warm Southern British (RP) teacher voice. Pure sounds: "sss", not "suh" – and it's "zed", never "zee".
