This study investigated the effect of Jolly Phonics strategy on Jordanian first grade pupils’ reading. The study followed a quasi- experimental research design. The participants of the study consisted of 58 first grade pupils purposefully chosen from a school in Irbid city, Jordan. Based on the results of a reading pre- tests, two groups are assigned: an experimental group which consists of 29 pupils taught by using the Jolly Phonics strategy under study for five weeks, and a control group of 29 pupils taught by using the Conventional strategy suggested by Action Pack 1 Teacher’s Guide, during the first semester of the academic year 2015-2016. In the current study, four instruments were used: a reading test, Jolly Phonics strategy worksheets, and Jolly Phonics songs with the Action Way.
