Explicit teaching sequence. All readers are in the same order of introducing the code. They develop phonemic awareness, code recognition, blending of words built using the code in their level, Duck Levels (high frequency/ sight words) they read whole sentences build using words at their Code Level, and enjoy readers that only include the code they are learning. Spelling Clouds used for exploratory work, during independent writing. www.readaustralia.com

1. Visual Prompts are images linked with Speech Sound Pic Words within that level - ie they are created using sound pics the students are learning.
Speech Sound Pics (pictures of speech sounds ~ phonemes/ graphemes) for each level. Students learn to decode and encode using these Speech Sound Pics.
Speech Sound Pic Words are created using the Sound Pics the students have learnt previously and are learning within current level. This helps speed up decoding skills, moving towards fluency.
Sentences are created using the Sound Pic and Helpful Words the students have learnt previously and are learning within current level. This helps students visualise as decoding is easy.
Spelling Clouds complete the code.
Use the Speech Sound Cloud Poems to expose
students to the whole code within meaningful context.
There is a poem for every Spelling Cloud.
Students say the speech sound, decode the words and blend into the whole word- students do this together (see example videos)
Students read levelled text (according to SSP Level) and analyse ~ they need to be able to justify their answers orally. New examples uploaded monthly to teacher resource site
