Speedie Readies: Show the Code! Word Mapping Mastery® for All Brains. The One, Two, Three and Away! books are mapped with Phonemies to show which letters are graphemes and their phoneme (speech sound) value. Visit our Show the Code Training Site
The English Pronunciation Code (EPC)
Connecting the Dots for the 1 in 5 at risk of literacy difficulties
The English Pronunciation Code (EPC) is a way of understanding how spoken English maps to written words. It shows that reading and spelling are based on linking phonemes (speech sounds) to graphemes (letters and letter groups) across the whole language.
Unlike limited teaching sequences, the EPC represents the full speech–print system of English, helping learners work out any word, not just those they have already been taught. It can vary from the Phonics Pronunciation Code used by SSP programmes, and the user's Personal Pronunciation Code. This links to their accent. It is expecially useful for the 1 in 5 at risk of literacy difficulties in England.
For more info about the EPC see Phonics Reform England (PRE)
What's your English Pronunication Code? The way you say words matters when word mapping!
Your individual pronunciation code impacts on the way you map words. Your brain processes the sounds in words and this can change depending on accent variation
Learn how to support all children to map words in both directions (speech to print AND print to speech) in ways that align with their own indiviual pronunciation code.
You may be able to better support your dyslexic child through effective bidirectional word mapping than with a programme!
Start with the Show the Code for Word Mapping Mastery course. It might be all you need to help them overcome the reading and spelling challenges associated with dyslexia.

1 in 5 children are at risk of literacy difficulties.
Yet 1 in 4 fail to meet expected standards at KS2.
Start doing this as early as possible!
