Welcome to Speedie Readies. Join the Three Learning Corners, and access the orthographically mapped One, Two, Three and Away! series of books online. Show the Code with Phonemies!
Let's Show the Orthographic Code!
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 phonemes?
To see the phonemes, you need Monster Mapped® text, where the Phonemies® reveal each sound value.
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).
Every Child Reading by Seven: Show the Code.
100 orthographically mapped stories 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.

Asking children to map from their own accent can create huge confusion within the linguistically diverse classroom. Speedie Readies Bi-Di starts with a shared spelling code and then discusses variations for that child.
The story of the Speech Sound King’s Code is introduced to explain how the mapping was first created for the Speech Sound King’s own accent. Children learn that the Speech Sound King wanted everyone to be able to read his words, even if they spoke differently. This story helps children understand why English spelling reflects a particular speech system rather than their own, and how this evolved into what we now call the Universal Code.
The Universal Code provides a shared foundation that allows everyone to see the same sound–spelling relationships, regardless of accent. The concept becomes meaningful rather than abstract, allowing natural discussion about variation and identity within the shared learning framework.
