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. Letters are pictures of speech sounds (Speech Sound Pics®), making word mapping visual, linguistic, and fun. Preventing the dyslexia pardox!
MyWordz® - Get the Tech
During Speech Sound Play - Phase 1- Children Are Engaging with The Monster Spelling Piano App for Tablets & MyWordz® with MySpeekie® Tech. They will start using the ICRWY Lessons app.
Children will use MyWordz® with MySpeekie® Tech to:
🔹 Check Monster Mapping® – Type words with s, a, t, p, i, n to see the mapped version and build confidence in how those words are structured.
They will learn to type any words they want to see mapped and use this as a Word Check when they can't (yet) decode a word themselves.
🔹 MySpeekie – Type words in Phonemies to see them spelled out and hear them voiced.
This feature can also be used as a Spell Check to verify the spelling of any word.
🔹 Map & Drag – Type words, see them mapped, and drag down the Phonemies to download and print, creating a personal Word Bank.
🔹 Phonemies Screen – Check their knowledge of all Monster Sounds. After Phase 1, children will continue developing Word Mapping Mastery®, using these tools to support their learning within systematic synthetic phonics programmes and for words that contain correspondences not explicitly taught.

MyWordz® includes the Code Mapping®Tool
This segments the words into black and grey and is an incredible innovation by Emma Hartnell-Baker.
It is much easier to develop orthographic knowledge when the graphemes are clearly shown.
This segmentation is possible thanks to a ground-breaking algorithm that maps words in both directions.
