Miss Emma, The Reading Whisperer, has Code Mapped these beautiful stories, to enable children as young as 3 to be able to map the phonemes to graphemes.

Phonetic transcription (also known as phonetic script or phonetic notation) is the visual representation of speech sounds (or phones) by means of symbols. The most common type of phonetic transcription uses a phonetic alphabet, such as the International Phonetic Alphabet.

Miss Emma's Speech Sound Monsters are an alternative to the phonetic symbols used within the IPA. So for every phonetic symbol there is a Speech Sound Monster.

Young children can work out any words when they are Monster Mapped!
