The alphabetic code shows the phoneme-letter relationships and gives us the tools we need to teach pronunciation and literacy skills through learning to decode the English written language. Then there are the tricky words, of course!
A lack of reading limits one’s quality of life (Bradford, Shippen, Alberto, Houschins, & Flores, 2006) and yet only 1 in 5 students with intellectual disabilities reaches minimal literacy levels (Katims, 2001). Slow development of reading skills may affect more than just one academic subject but may also delay language acquisition, general knowledge, vocabulary, and even social acceptance.
However, “Literacy and reading instruction for students with significant intellectual disabilities is in its infancy….there is a dearth of information regarding complete instructional programs that might help these children learn to read and write” (Erickson et al., 2009, p. 132).
This document provides information about sorting decodable readers according to the Synthetic Phonics Spelling program (SSP). It recommends free readers from SPELD SA and Oxford Owl that have been sorted into SSP levels. It also lists the order of letters and sounds taught in the SSP program and notes that one decodable reader only contains words using the letters s, a, t, i, m, n, o, p. Instructions are given to look at the SSP teaching order to determine which code level box a reader belongs in, with examples provided.

This document provides guidance for implementing the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) reading program in schools. It outlines resources needed for each classroom, including printed materials, apps, and displays. It describes the three phases of SSP: Phase 1 focuses on phonemic awareness without letters; Phase 2 teaches the four code levels to develop reading, writing, and spelling; Phase 3 supports independent literacy. Key aspects of SSP are explicitly teaching the speech sounds and their connections to graphemes using visual prompts and a left-to-right approach.
- The Speech Sound Pics (SSP) literacy program is emerging and promising but lacks published research evidence. However, many successful literacy programs developed by teachers also lack published research initially.
- There is disagreement between advocates of SSP and those who believe only programs with published research should be used in schools. Published research is unrealistic as an initial requirement for education programs.
- Teachers are looking for evidence like student achievement data and testimonials from schools that have successfully used programs like SSP. Published research is only one useful piece of information and should not be the sole criteria for determining an education program's effectiveness.
The document discusses a speech therapist who tried to undermine the professional judgement of a teaching team using the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) Approach, which focuses on developing oral language and phonemic awareness. The author, who created SSP, has extensive qualifications in special education needs and dyslexia. However, some dyslexia awareness groups have been trying to discourage its use for months by distributing fliers. The author asks them to stop interfering and leave the teachers and parents who see results from SSP alone.

According to Reid Lyon and James Wendorf, ninety-five percent of the children that are struggling with reading are instructional casualties. That means THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CHILD, THE ISSUE IS HOW THEY ARE BEING TAUGHT.
"It’s a consequence of an unnatural, overwhelming ambiguity forced upon the child while nobody is giving them a stairway through it before they shame-out to the process. The shame itself then impedes their cognitive ability to process it, as well as diminishes their self-esteem in general with all of its transferred effects.
So we have this massive problem that when we cut it down has to do with the social-educational paradigm-inertia."

Reading Whisperer Advice: Three Cueing System, Guided Reading, Levelled Readers, PM benchmarking - all have to go, if every Australian student is to learn to read and spell with confidence by 6 (before grade 2)
www.wiringbrains.com
The document is a list of words and concepts related to the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) Approach. It includes days of the week, months, colors, shapes, animals, and other common nouns. The approach involves using pictures to represent speech sounds and teach literacy.
Recent research shows that retaining students is generally not the best option and does more harm than good. While a temporary boost in performance may occur, benefits do not tend to last and retained students are 60% less likely to graduate high school. Instead of retention, schools should focus on implementing new interventions, teaching strategies, and learning supports tailored to students' needs. As a parent, it's important to be involved in discussions with the school about retention or alternative options that may help a struggling child succeed.

1) The document discusses concerns with using PM Benchmark assessments for students who have not completed the Speech Sound Pics (SSP) program, as PM Benchmark relies on whole language approaches removed from UK schools.
2) It provides suggestions for alternative assessments that test phonics skills more appropriately for different reading levels, such as the Motif, Castles and Coltheart, and TERC tests.
3) The author advocates using SSP to teach reading as an alternative to whole language approaches like PM Benchmark, which can demoralize students if used before phonics mastery.
The document discusses the SSP approach to teaching reading using a "skills acquisition process" to develop reading brains. It argues that SSP wiring reading and spelling brains simultaneously through a systematic progression of sound-picture mapping. In contrast, traditional "whole language" and PM readers ask children to guess words they cannot decode, slowing learning. SSP progresses through four color-coded levels of increasing complexity. Home readers should reinforce the sound-pictures being learned, using only decodable texts matching the child's current level. The goal is for children to authentically read texts they can fully decode by blending learned sound-pictures.

If the kids know the words (my next door neighbour's 3 year old knows them very well) then USE this to help their brains link the speech sounds to sound pics. They can 'hear' the words in order along with the music, in their minds, so get mapping ! Play Speech Sound Pic Detective. Follow the words along with the music, and stop at one. Ask what the next word is, and then use Duck Hands, Lines and Numbers, and map the lines with the sound pics. They are already coded so doesn't matter what code level they are at, they will figure it out.

This document discusses the importance of phonemic awareness in learning to read and spells. It notes that without adequate phonemic awareness, readers must rely on guessing and visual memory rather than understanding sounds in words. Approximately 10-33% of people have difficulty with phonemic awareness, which can limit their ability to decode words and benefit from phonics instruction. The document stresses that phonemic awareness is the best predictor of early reading success more than other factors like IQ. It questions why Australia continues to use instructional approaches that have been shown to limit literacy development and notes alarming rates of functional illiteracy in the country.

The letter recommends binning Australia's PM Benchmarking system for assessing reading in primary schools, as was done in the UK, in order to change teaching practices so that no child enters Year 2 without learning to read, including dyslexic learners. It notes that Finland would never subject students to such a benchmarking system.
A new approach to teaching reading, writing and spelling. The program not only ensures the best outcomes for students but actually trains and guides teachers. 'Visible Learning' at the highest level !
This shows the Teaching and Learning Cycle from Education NSW, but with a difference. The program does most of the work shown in the cycle!

The document discusses the Speedy Six Program (SSP) literacy program. It explains that SSP begins with 2 weeks of phonemic awareness training before introducing letters and sounds to prepare children's brains for coding words. SSP uses a "speech to print" rather than "print to speech" approach to help children master decoding words. It also incorporates listening, speaking, reading, writing and viewing in an integrated way. SSP aligns with Australian curriculum guidelines and research recommending around 20 hours of phonemic awareness training before introducing letters.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
