From oral blending to morphology Grow the Code is an online structured literacy programme for your whole school or home. It is an affordable way to provide all the resources needed for the first four years of schooling and can also be used to supplement and enhance your current phonics programme.
It aligns with our successful Letters and Sounds programme that uses physical flashcards, picture-sound cards and decodable text for daily phonics lessons.
Regardless of your level of experience, whether you are a seasoned educator or a new homeschool parent, Grow the Code provides the necessary support and expertise to effortlessly implement a comprehensive structured literacy programme and includes:
Develop the core skills for reading and spelling in a fun and effective way. Grow the Code fosters children’s phonemic awareness skills in preparation for high-quality phonic teaching. They learn how the alphabet works and are equiped with the knowledge and skills they need to become fluent readers and confident spellers by the age of seven.
Grow the Code can also be used as a powerful catch-up programme for those with ‘phonics gaps’.
Teacher guidence and professional learning is embeded within the phonic progression, along with decodable texts, multisensory learning tools, and progress monitoring through cumulative digital assessments. All your preparation is taken care of. Carefully designed daily lessons will advance children through:
Research-based and comprehensive - but also effective and enjoyable! Each daily phonics lesson covers one letter/sound (GPC).
Choose between:
Letters are embedded into the illustrated mnemonics to help with recall and letter formation.
Alternative spellings are gradually introduced at phase 5. When revisiting the letter-sounds all previously taught spellings are shown, reinforcing and building on knowledge.
Daily segmenting activities are provided. Drag and drop the letters to make the word that matches the picture, then manipulate the letters to make more words.
For each phonics lesson, there is a caption or sentence for dictation and a carefully selected, fully decodable book.
All children can quickly be assessed using the online assessment tool. Results are recorded and sorted and the bottom 20% of children can be targeted for extra keep-up lessons. Children can easily be assigned to a new teacher when moving to another year group.
