10-Day Dyslexia 'Screen & Intervene' Plan with MySpeekie®: Develop speech sound awareness through Phonemies Play, supporting children before or alongside systematic synthetic phonics (SSP). The Speech Sound Mapping (SSM) Plan is also available as a stand-alone option for children with SLCN.

Nothing Like This Exists—Until Now.

By getting each child to the point where they truly understand how the alphabetic code works—how speech sounds map to print—they no longer rely so heavily on structured, stage-by-stage teaching, or have to ask for help!

Instead, they begin to explore words independently, build confidence, and move more quickly towards reading for meaning, for pleasure, and with an intrinsic desire to read.

This is how we reduce cognitive load, bypass the barriers that hold so many back, and create the conditions where less teaching leads to more learning—because reading becomes something they want to do, not just something they are taught to do.

Aussie Avery is going to show children the Duck Level (sight) words, and is LOVING being the teacher!

Use Speech Sound Play as your lead-in to Speech Sound Pics (Word Mapping) in the early years. It makes more sense developmentally, and children are not constrained by a grapheme–phoneme correspondence (GPC) learning sequence.

You can use the 10-day Speech Sound Play Plan with a whole Reception class before starting any synthetic phonics programme. This is a precious window to screen and intervene, especially for dyslexia risk, and to ensure every child’s brain has the chance to understand how phonemes and graphemes (letters and sounds) map onto each other. Think of it as an SEN-inclusive Phase 1 of Letters and Sounds.

If using this with toddlers or younger children, follow the 10-day plan without time constraints. Avery and others will help show you how it all works. It’s easy for little ones to grasp, but ironically harder for skilled readers to understand fully. That is because fluent readers often do not stop to think about the role of each letter in written words, or how those letters map to the sounds we speak.

The Code Unlocked!

The WHOLE Alphabetic Code—Fully Visible for the First Time

For the first time in the history of teaching reading and spelling, the entire alphabetic code has been made visible to children.

Until now, learners have only been shown fragments of the code, introduced slowly through carefully staged phonics programmes. Most children are expected to memorise, wait, and guess their way through English—often never seeing the full system behind it.

Phonemies changes that.

Children are no longer constrained by what is "taught" first. With Phonemies and MySpeekie®, every phoneme has a face, every grapheme has a voice—and every word is available to explore, from day one.

They can finally:

See how speech sounds map to print across the entire code
Explore any word they care about—not just CVCs or staged decodables
Strengthen phonemic awareness, phonological working memory, and vocabulary through meaningful exploration

And they do it in a way that’s developmentally appropriate, playful, and fully inclusive of learners with SLCN, EAL, dyslexia risk, and neurodivergent profiles.

This isn’t a phonics programme.

This is the foundation that assumes that children may not find learning phonics easy.

Children who use Speech Sound Play with Phonemies are not just being prepared for phonics instruction—they’re becoming independent, curious code-quackers!

They don’t have to wait to be taught.

They don’t have to guess.

They don’t fall behind.

The WHOLE alphabetic code is no longer a mystery.
It's unlocked.

And for the first time ever, ALL learners can see ALL of it.
When THEY need to see it, HOW they need to see it. So that it #justmakessense

Reading for knowledge and pleasure is the goal

Phonics learning is schema-driven and multi-sensory
