Bonding Speech, Spelling and Meaning
Storing the Orthographic Code
Children use their hands as a duck’s beak to segment words from left to right, finishing with a sweeping motion to blend the sounds. This helps them link speech sounds to how they are represented on paper from a very early age. We soon introduce ‘speech sound lines and numbers’ to extend this understanding. They put the Speech Sound Monsters on the lines, and finally the Sound Pics (graphemes)
If it's a new word they are shown the code. If they are demonstrating mastery the mapped word is not shown. The Monster Spelling Routine is a great way to store words in the orthographic lexicon.
The Monster Spelling Routine
Ask when the next Speedie Readie Workshop is being held!
You'll learn to use and teach the Monster Spelling Routine, and facilitate word mapping mastery for all.
The resources used here are in the Speech Sound Play Plan bundle
The Phonemies show the sound value.
Children who are not yet old enough to draw speech sound lines, numbers, or letters can use the MyWordz® technology. They type the speech sounds in the correct order to see the graphemes, known as Sound Pics®. They can then type the full word, view it mapped, drag down the monsters, and save the word to their own word bank. Even children who can already write should complete this step and then use the printed words within the spelling routine. This is especially useful when words have correspondences not taught in the Core Code lessons.
