Wall Chart

How can teachers unravel the mysteries of written English, teach sound recognition, decoding and letter-sound knowledge?

By using this book! Professor John Hattie Catch Up Your Code identifies and addresses gaps in knowledge of the alphabetic code of English.

This knowledge is critical for efficient decoding and spelling.

Any gaps impact negatively on reading comprehension and quality writing. Catch Up Your Code starts with a short assessment to identify gaps in code knowledge, then provides a series of fast, effective 10-minute lessons to close the gaps. This series supports both remote or face-to-face learning environments. This poster-size Wall Chart illustrates the sounds of English and the different ways each sound can be written (phoneme - grapheme relationships).

It provides teachers and students with a comprehensive reference for locating common spelling patterns and for recalling the diversity of the alphabetic code.
