Amari learns to map words in both directions!

Bidirectional word mapping matters because children need to connect speech and print in both directions. Reading involves looking at print and connecting it to spoken language (print-to-speech), while spelling involves hearing spoken language and connecting it to print (speech-to-print). When both pathways are strengthened together, the brain begins storing words efficiently for automatic reading and spelling through self-teaching. 

You can learn to do this! Get started with the 90 Minute Show the Code course

Amari has just turned 3. His Mummy is trained in Speech Sound Mapping, and understands how to Show the Code and map words in both directions.

Follow Amari's word mapping learning journey.  He is able to SEE how speech and print connect within books. His brain will connect letters and sounds faster than with a phonics programme, as it will make more sense to a three-year-old.
