Speedie Readies: One, Two, Three and Away! with The Code Overlay. The Upstream Team supports the Word Mapping Mastery System®. The pre-mapped Village With Three Corners book series gets children excited about reading in the early years. Learn why this matters on PRE.
The Village With Three Corners is a classic reading scheme written by a children’s author that children love. By showing the code and making speech sounds visible first, children can read the books with confidence. This speech-to-print approach supports self-teaching and is a world first. Individually hand-painted wooden Story Peg People encourage talk and oracy.

The Village With Three Corners Series
The first 52 books in the series (the 36 Pre-Readers and 16 Introductory Readers) are mapped, for the Speedie Readies system: Show the Code!
Every child can learn to read and spell with ease when supported on a 1:1 basis, using Speedie Readies: Show the Code. These books are used in Path 2.

Ask your local library to stock The Village With Three Corners series so that you can read them at home! UK libraries primarily order books and resources through specialist library wholesalers and suppliers, such as Askews & Holts, Gardners, Peters, and ProQuest. Send them the list of ISBNs!




































When we “follow the Monster Sounds” to say the word, our brains take note of which letters are graphemes and their sound value. This makes it easier to recognise spelling patterns and spell the words correctly in future.
Brains need to bond speech sounds, graphemes, and the meanings of words in order to store them for instant recognition later.
