Code Mapping® is our unique visual mapping of graphemes within the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) Approach, and Monster Mapped® Words also show the sound value, making English orthography accessible for neurodivergent learners.

Show the Written Word Code
Mapped Words® show the letters that map to the universally accepted sounds, for every word. We make the sounds in every word visible, so that children can instantly work out written words, even if they pronounce them differently.
Designed for neurodivergent learners, so that every child can read, spell & communicate with ease.
Children can make the correctly spelt written word appear on the screen (to be voiced!) even before they know any phonics.
Monster Mapping® is a registered trademark. It is a visual, neuro-inclusive way of making grapheme–phoneme correspondences clear for NeuroReadies. Monster Word Mapping® supports phonics learning, and is integral to the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) Approach, but it is not a synthetic phonics programme.
😊 No Guessing. No Memorising. No Rules. 😊
Speech Sound Mapping Theory describes a proven way for neurodivergent learners to read and spell with confidence. Code Mapped® and Monster Mapped Words® and books are used across Australia by schools using the Speech Sound Pics® (SSP) Approach – a visual and linguistic approach to phonics – and resources can be downloaded here for use as an intervention with the one in four children in England who struggle with synthetic phonics.
These resources are essential for learners identified as at high risk of dyslexia. The Free Early Dyslexia Screening Centre has now opened in Dorset, with more planned nationwide. Let’s support NeuroReadies: different learning needs different teaching. By supporting the one in four, we can help avoid the dyslexia paradox.

Code Mapping® is unique to the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) Approach. It provides visual mapping of graphemes, while Monster Mapped® Words also show the sound value, making English orthography easier for all brains to understand and embracing both linguistic and neurodiversity. This makes learning to read and spell easy peasy lemon squeazy!
Use Mapped Words® and Monster Mapped® Books at home in the early years, as an early intervention for children in KS1 who are experiencing difficulties with phonics, or in KS2 when dyslexia is suspected. Monster Mapped® Books ensure that neurodivergent children can more easily understand how letters and sounds connect, and a teaching assistant can work through the One, Two, Three and Away! series to support self-teaching. The Reading Hut Ltd are the new publishers! Ask your local library to order a set through Gardners, or order a set directly on Amazon, Ebay or TheReadingHut.com
Before starting the 36 One, Two, Three and Away! pre-readers (Monster Mapped®!) use the Speech Sound Play plan and then quickly learn the Core Code with the Monster Spelling Piano app and work through the SSP Green and Purple Core Code Level Monster Mapped Readers. This is far easier way to read and spell for neurodivergent learners.
Emma Hartnell-Baker, also known as the Neurodivergent Reading Whisperer®, is a SpLD specialist who now works with nurseries to help identify the one in four children who are likely to struggle with reading and spelling in KS1 when synthetic phonics programmes are used, unless the ten day Speech Sound Play Plan is implemented first. The MyWordz® technology is fantastic for spelling, and can be used throughout the day.

The First Bi-Directional Word Mapping Tool. Designed with Dyslexia in Mind
“Every brain can become a spelling brain.”
The Neurodivergent Reading Whisperer®
This ground-breaking tech helps all children, especially those who struggle with phonics or have dyslexia, to read, spell and hear English speech sounds independently. Speech to Print AND Print to Speech!
Children can type, say or click a word to see how it is structured, pronounced and spelled using Phonemies.
The code is shown, so the mapping is known. No stress. No anxiety.
Rather than simply telling children the word, whether they are reading or spelling, this tool gives their brain the information it needs to store the word in the mental word bank.
The mapping is shown for all words, helping children remember them, recognise them when reading, and spell them correctly when writing.
It does more than help in the moment. It builds the self-teaching system that reading and writing depends on.
MyWordz® is The Word Mapping Tool That Makes Sense of Phonics, from Speech to Print and Print to Speech. Word Mapping Mastery® for All Neuro-Types.
