Mapped Words®!
 A Unique Way to Develop Orthographic Knowledge (OK) 
Designed by The Neurodivergent Reading Whisperer to EMPOWER Learners 
Code the Word, Show the Word, Know the Word! The Visible Spelling Code

 

We are boosting orthographic knowledge via guided self-discovery.

Our focus is on creating LEARNABLE moment: students exploring the whole written code, and asking them 'what's new for you?' They become engaged and interested in 'the code' - often for the first time! 
 
The grapheme-to-phoneme and phoneme-to-grapheme correspondences NOT explicitly taught within SSP programmes are explored within meaningful texts, as well as other aspects of words not yet considered: this may related to vocabulary knowledge, orthography, etymology, morphology or simply the discrepancies between spoken and written language - eg accents, connected speech etc. 

We are guiding students towards independent phonological recoding and 'self-teaching': their brains are then 'wired' for skilled reading and to identify if words 'look right' when writing independently.
It is a totally DIFFERENT approach with a tool (and library) that engages and includes all learners, and is suitable for all grades - and will not conflict - with your chosen synthetic phonics programme! *

*If children  are struggling with phonics the intervention will help them as there is such a focus on phonemic awareness - so the intervention will help your 'at risk' children with phonics instruction.   
* start the library when children are at the SSP Yellow Code Level Letters and Sounds Phase 5
