Our recommendation:
Buy the print Jolly Dictionary (about $15 on Amazon or Jolly Learning’s site) and, if you need a PDF for projection, scan the pages you actually teach. That’s the sweet spot of legal, practical, and affordable.

If you’re teaching phonics using the Jolly Phonics method, you already know that vocabulary and independent decoding are non-negotiable. The Jolly Dictionary (by Sara Wernham and Sue Lloyd) is the perfect bridge between sounding out words and understanding their meaning.

But what about a Jolly Dictionary PDF? Is it available? Should you use one? And where can you find a legitimate copy?

Let’s settle it once and for all.
