1. Reading and spelling infosession for parentsBrief overview of the Speech SoundPics (SSP Phonics) Approach !

2. Terminologykeeping it simpleWords are made up of speech sounds ckThese speech sounds can be representedon paper using speech sound picsie pictures of speech sounds 3. Say the word (grass) Listen for the speech sounds ____ _____ _____ _____ 12 34Imagine you are taking a picture of each of the4 speech sounds with your speech sound camera what might each one look like?Which sound pic shall we choose?The children imagine they are taking pictures of the 4 speech sounds, and choosesound pics (representations) When you talk about letters these are simply lettersof the alphabet and also have their own name. So, yes, this is an es but what speechsound is it a picture of? Its one (there are 8 or 9) of the pictures for the speech sound ssss 4. Amazing spelling skills startwith SPEECH, and hearing the smaller parts in words.Spelling starts from speech, not print. We created the written word to record our spoken words, not the other way around.Words are spelt using sound pics representations of the smaller parts of our words so children MUST be taught them all. All can be seen within the Speech Sound Clouds. 5. SSP Phonics Spelling- say the word- listen for the speech sounds andwork out how many there are- draw the lines andnumbers_ _ _ 1 2 3- work out thesound picsan t 6.

Lower case onlyat home please, otherthan at the beginning ofnames, in PrepOder children will alsolearn correct formation 18. Letter formation(we recommend RWI cards and phrases )froggy legsIll show you where to start 19. We dont need to know letternames to read and spell in theearly stages, and they can confusethe process 20. Children just need to be able tohear the smaller parts inwords, and know how many soundpics are needed 21. And know which sound pics theycould be ! 22. Pronunciation of theSpeech Sound PicsThere is a power point presentation onslideshare.net/readingwhisperer that goesthrough the Speech Sound Clouds and gives thespeech sound for each. The children hear thespeech sound as they click on the star.The most commonly used ones are shown, butALL sound pics used for this speech sound arealso shown using the Speech Sound Clouds. 23. iy 24. How can parents help? Help your child hear the smaller parts in words(speech sounds) and work out how many there are. c / owHelp them see the speechsound pics within words 25. You can do this in the car, walking. Anywhere !There are no letters involved just listening..Say the wordHow many speech sounds can you hear?What are they?Children who can do this will find reading, and especially spelling, far easierWe teach them this if they do not find this easy. YOU can help at home! 26. You will need to learn to speak in speech sounds!Visit the RTT site for videosand resources Puppets with mouths showing the speech sounds 27. To develop exceptional spelling (encoding) skills we need to start from SPEECH. If children cannot hear the smaller parts in words (phonemic awareness) they will not be able to develop these skills. They need to SEE words as made up ofspeech sound pics (pictures of the speech sounds, not letters)At all times, from term 1 of Prep, those using SSP try to see sound pics in words, and encourage children to do the same. This really helps toshape their reading AND spelling brains and prevent difficulties. It alsoallows teachers to see where there are gaps in PA and code knowledge.Use every opportunity to do this !Questions? Emma@ReadAustralia.com 28. Practice this yourself! 29. P-2 ? Find your own member of the Speech Sound Family ! 30. Our first focus group (green) sis one of the picturesfor the speech soundssss. This is the firstthe children will learn, asthere are 8 picturesSo even though these are the first sound pics we teach, it is important that we helpchildren hear the speech sounds they represent.Eg Can you hear the ssss speech sound in the word rice? .. is it at thebeginning, middle or end? 31. Collect things! When you say the wordyou can hear the speech sound/s (beginning, middle or end) 32. Students will quickly be decoding books using these sound pics ! 33. Home readers will be books thechildren can read 34. Children go through the levelled readers at their own pace 35. Slideshare.net/readingwhispererDownload free decoding (reading)and encoding (spelling) materialthat follows the order your childwill learn the phonemes (speechsound pics) as well as foldercontent resources at slideshare 36. Eg slide from Green level decodingpractice power pointNat pants in the sand pit Green Level sound pics s a t pi n 37. Sharing books are those you read to yourchild. Please point to the print as you read. Try to find sound pics ! 38. Build words using magnetic letters or make sound pic cards in P-2.This reader canbe downloadedfrom theweb site andprinted, orread as a PDF 39. Children can look for sound pics, attheir level. Watch Prep students dothis on the youtube channel 40. Within the SSP Levels children aretaught all of the most commonly used speech sound picsbut also discover the codethemselves.This is easier for us ifwe start with what weknow. how to speak ! 41. All students need to know these sound pics, and how to use them within reading andspelling activities We will check which readingand spelling skills current studentsneed practice with, and planaccordingly 42. P 2 will have home folders They will have their sound pics, words created using thesesound pics, tricky words and also readers created using their sound pics 43. The Speech Sound Family love you reading to them! If you speak in speech sounds they can understand you, as most only speak in speech sounds. This is why they love it when you say the sound pics before you blend them into the word.Please use puppets to show how wordsare created using smaller parts. 44. Ikea has some great puppets at the moment withmouths you can open and close with yourfingers. You need to be able to open and closethe mouth to show the individual speech sounds.These are especially important for children whohave poor phonemic awareness.They are about $5 45. Knowing how to spellbutterfly , or read theword is not enough.Children need to learn,and work out, WHYwords are created inthis way (ie the parts/speech sound pics.)This will help themdevelop the skills neededto spell and read eventhe most difficult ofwords, including thosethey have never heard of.SSP is not used to helpchildren read and spell,but to become readersand writers.To shape reading andspelling brains for ALLchildren. 46. If they cant decode at least 85% of the book it isnt a reader, so you share it withthem for enjoyment. Their reader is a book they can read, not have to guess at. 47. Working togetherParents and GrandparentsTAsOlder studentsChildren helpingchildren within classrooms 48. Check 1Speech Sound Identification student sayswhat s/he sees and tells you the sound you askfor beginning, middle or end. Also ask themUse pics showing words used into count how many speech sounds they canthat level- created using their hear.sound pics eg within Greenuse Pat, ant, sit, tap etcCheck 2 Sound pic identification - student asked to pointto the pic of X speech sound and also asked to identify the speech sound whenteacher points to sound picCheck 3 Student asked to pointto the sound pics that make a word (eg ant if green level) see if they ordercorrectly. Teacher points to sound pics in order to create a word and studentsidentifies whole word. 49. Check 4 Student shown sound pic words for that level and askedto identify, and put into a sentence. Shown tricky words and asked to identify.Check 5 Student asked to write words, from within that level, afterbeing given the word verbally. Check letter formation within this check. Student reads assessment sentences, no picture clues,Check 6based on their levelEg (Green Level) Pat sat in a pan in the sand pit.1 verbal question about the text, and one to encourage an opinioneg Who sat in the sand pit? Why do you think he was doing that?1 verbal question about the text, with written answer.eg where was he sitting?When students have moved past Green, and are able to also read questionsplease change 1 verbal question about the text, with written answer, to 1written question, with written answer. 50. Ask children to manipulate sound pics eg if I saylim without the l what would I say?Read assessment texts, ask child to identifysound pics for a specific speech sound(see video example here) 51. Reading Whisperer Classroom lessons(see Video Folder Classroom Lessons or ReadingTeacherTraining.com)These are shorter than home lessons and last around8 12 minutes. Watch in the classroom with allchildren, in small groups if they need morepractice, or on a 1:1 basis.Speech Sound Pic DetectiveAll cover the skills and concepts needed at each level (asseen as you scroll through the levels) They are helpful forterminology, in particular ie how to introduce conceptsThere is a lesson for each sound pic focus in every level ieapprox. 70 lessons, with a lesson per Speech Sound Cloudcoming soon (including special ending cloud lessons) 52.

By now children should have all of the foundational skills required to decode (read) andencode (spell) and you are able to help children with fluency, vocab and comprehension.Please have a 15 minute reading time every day, with a range of books for the children tochoose. They can read to themselves, to a friend, in groups, to an adult etc.Readers will be following the order, eg Dandelion and I will upload as many free readersas possible this year, so that children can practice these skills in meaningful ways.New conceptsA speech sound can be split, in print, by sound pics eg ate has 2 speech sounds a-e/t(t is last speech sound) however in print the speech sound a-e (ay) sandwiches this soundpic. (next slide illustrates- you do not need to watch this with the children, but can ifhelpful) Some sound pics can be made up of sound pics that dont seem to fit ! (eg ph, wh ) the King wants it this way so we just remember themWords learnt as tricky words are now either tricky yes, yes (decodable) or tricky no, no(difficult to decode and easier to memorise eg one / two / was )Some words may sound the same, but are spelt with different sound pics.
