Use the SSP Speech Sound Play Plan before teaching any phonics programme, not just the Speech Sound Pics Approach, to screen for dyslexia risk by assessing phonemic awareness and phonological working memory. We are identifying the 1 in 4 children at risk of struggling to learn phonics before phonics instruction begins.


IPA aligned Phonemies are Speech Sound Monsters®. They show children the speech sound value of letters, making word mapping visual, linguistic, and fun. The result is earlier, easier Word Mapping Mastery® for all within the neurodiverse classroom.
