Print to Speech Word Mapping

This page shows how to analyse print-to-speech correspondences, identifying which English speech sounds each grapheme can represent in British, Australian or American English. For example how many sounds can <ear> represent when decoding words?

Phonemies® (Speech Sound Monsters®) are phonetic symbols for orthographic learners.

You cannot explicitly teach every print-to-speech correspondence. When you see just how many there are, you may begin to understand why passing the Phonics Screening Check does not guarantee that a child will be able to read and spell accurately.

So, what helps children use a restricted set of explicitly taught grapheme-phoneme correspondences as a kick-start and move into the self-teaching phase, where they begin working out the orthographic code for themselves?

This is what Dys-Code® Assessors are trained to understand and support.
