Sounds-Write is a phonic program that teachs reading, spelling and writing. The programme is already being used extensively in primary and secondary schools throughout the United Kingdom, as well as in the Irish Republic, Australia, Zambia, the USA and Papua New Guinea.
The programme provides lesson plans that are clearly structured and easy to follow within a systematic, synthetic phonics programme. It teaches all key elements of conceptual understanding, factual knowledge, and the three essential skills of blending, segmenting and phoneme manipulation necessary for learning to read and spell.
The Sounds-Write programme teaches children to understand the way the alphabet code works. Very often, in the early stages of learning to read and spell, because of the complexity of the code, children will not be able to spell some sounds by using the correct spellings. However, children taught using Sounds-Write will be able to write almost anything they want to write by using plausible (phonetic) spellings for sounds.
