Monster Mapped Names - Orthographically Mapped

Mapping our Names

The children will usually choose the Blue Cow Phonemie /ʌ/ (over the Silly Schwa /ə/) for their names at first. This is because it’s the phoneme they use when segmenting, and the schwa is used when connecting the word in a sentence. So they can choose, and both are ‘right’. And if this doesn't make sense to you yet, do the Word Mapping training through ShowTheCode.com !

Great for non-speaking children! Use MySpeekie as a one-screen AAC

The Word Mapping Formula is that words are bidirectionally mapped: print to speech when decoding and speech to print when spelling, according to the expectations of each education jurisdiction, while also taking account of the child’s accent.
We use Duck Hands® to segment the words into speech sounds and Phonemies® to represent the Speech Sounds on paper.
Graphemes are known as pictures of those speech sound ie Speech Sound Pics®
