Speech Sound Mapping: Discovery Learning in Mind
When you show the code, you don't need to 'explicitly teach' the concepts—the 'Code Mapping®' (black/grey to indicate the Sound Pics®/graphemes) plus the Phonemies to show the sound value just make sense to children's brains.

Word Mapping with Miss Emma
"Every child needs to learn it, so we might as well make it fun!"
Emma Hartnell-Baker holds a Masters Degree in Special Educational Needs and is a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Reading. She trains SENDCos for specialist organisations such as PATOSS with Dr Grace Elliott who offers ADHD and Dyslexia Assessments.
Miss Emma has been training teachers in Australia for nearly a decade and holds dual nationality. Before moving to Queensland, she was an OFSTED Inspector and managed two 'Outstanding' nurseries. She also holds a BEd Hons with a specialism in the Early Years and is passionate about play-based, personalised learning—for both children and educators!
Those who train with 'Miss Emma' often leave sessions with a renewed excitement for effectively balancing systematic phonics instruction with discovery-based word mapping. Word Mapping revolves around connecting speech sounds, spelling and meaning. The Word Mapping Book will continue to evolve after its release, addressing every possible question a parent or teaching professional might have about the individual children under their guidance. Look out for linked clips that demonstrate chapter content and showcase Miss Emma as she identifies and overcomes learning barriers when working with children new to mapping 'Sound Pics' to 'Phonemies'!
As Miss Emma says, "There's so much more to Word Mapping than 'learning phonics'. Word Mapping from birth changes lives."
Why We Map Words With and For Children
Phonemies show the SOUND value. Idea for words with GPCs they don't yet know!
They can 'follow the monster sounds to say the word' and THEN check the Sound Pics.
Speaking in Speech Sounds with an Autistic Learner
The Spelling Routine with a Dyslexic Student
For the first time, the correspondences between speech sounds (phonology) and graphemes (orthography) are made VISIBLE—for ALL words in English.
We teach parents and teachers how to articulate the 'Monster Sounds' and blend them into words. The speech sounds they use may differ from the phonemes expected when mapping words, and we need to discuss this! Accents have a significant impact on word mapping.
