Let's Show the Orthographic Code!

Phonics programmes only teach about one hundred GPCs and can take two years. Children meet more than three hundred in the words they need to read and write in KS1. To help every child read and spell confidently they need to be able to:

Type the sounds, see the word. Type the word, see the code. You need orthographic mapping tools: MyWordz® with MySpeekie®.

The Code Mapping® Tool

The Orthographic Code Made Visible

You can download the mapped words® in MyWordz® tech and change the font etc

Code Mapping® only shows which letters represent graphemes. But can you determine the speech sounds - that is, the phonemes?
To see the phonemes, you need Monster Mapped® text, where the Phonemies® reveal each sound value.
You need
MyWordz® with MySpeekie®.

Word Mapping Mastery with The Reading Hut

In England, children learn to map words through phonics, but this means they are only shown around 100 letter-to-sound correspondences. This is enough for some to begin self-teaching, but not for one in four learners. Those children, in particular, need to be shown the code.

To store words in the orthographic lexicon, they must connect the speech sounds, spellings (the graphemes), and meanings. They need to understand how the orthographic code works. When they use our Code Mapping® technology, they can see the graphemes in all words, which helps secure orthographic knowledge. It reveals what synthetic phonics programmes don’t, and with less teaching (instruction) needed as the code is shown.

When you use the Monster Mapped® words, the Phonemies also show the sound value (phonemes) for every grapheme.

Speedie Readies: Show the Code.

Phonemies® are child friendly speech sound characters that make the sounds of English visible. Children type Phonemies in MySpeekie® to say what they want to write. They also see Phonemies when they check the structure of a written word. Phonemies don’t replace phonics and they don’t link to letters. They make the speech side clear.
 

100 orthographically mapped stories with Phonemies that make every word decodable and meaningful to every child, at any time, separate from systematic phonics instruction. Use alongside your whole-class synthetic phonics programme with a TA, and every child will not only pass the PSC but, more importantly, learn to read with independence, fluency, and comprehension before the end of Year 1.​
