What is Sounds Write?
Sounds Write is a very highly structured, multi-sensory approach to teaching children to read and spell. Its structure and simplicity make it a programme accessible to all learners and helps them to make excellent progress with their reading and spelling
Sounds Write is premised on the assumption that children learn the sounds of their own language naturally. Then we establish a link between the sounds and the visual signs (letters/graphemes) that represent those sounds.
This program is successful in teaching children to read and spell because it starts with what all children know from a very young age – the sounds of our spoken language. Then, using a very systematic approach, it teaches them how these sounds are coded within our writing system.
