Funny Phonics!
When I launched Speech Sound Pics (SSP) in Australia, having fun while learning was front and centre. We included Silly Rhyme Time and mapped songs. When children discovered new Sound Pics for the Spelling Clouds®, I would write them a poem.
I'm back in England - could you help me make phonics fun for all? And support my mission to reduce the amount of explicit phonics instruction, and increase the amound of discovery phonics? Spread the word about MyWordz®!

​These clips are over ten years old, but they show why the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) Approach was popular among teachers, even if not always with school leaders. You couldn’t just open a handbook or hand out a worksheet. This was real word mapping, with playful teaching that included singing, playing, and rhyming.
Some rhymes were really rude!
