This visual aid can be found as the latest addition to the free unit 1 (module 1). Until I add further new resources, this poster is therefore at the 'bottom' of the current list of resources in unit 1.
In this version of The Alphabetic Code overview chart, I have included key pictures down the left-hand phoneme column which complement the new Alphabetic Code Frieze Posters and other Phonics International resources.
A couple of people I know have expressed their doubts about the Alphabetic Code overview charts being suitable for younger learners. Personally, I think they are totally invaluable for any age learner AND for those who teach reading and spelling instruction - AND for those who train the teachers!
Recently, with younger learners, strugglers and learners for whom English is an additional language in mind, I made the Alphabetic Code Frieze Posters - and this latest Alphabetic Code chart is an extension of my current focus.
Schools and parents can choose whichever 'versions' of The Alphabetic Code overview charts are most suitable for their teaching needs and the learners' needs.
I am hoping, however, that any teachers hesitant to use The Alphabetic Code overview charts (perhaps thinking they present too much information at one time) will reconsider when they see the latest version complete with phoneme pictures.
It could be that schools which choose to use other mnemonic systems (aids to memory) will bear in mind that they can use the 'non-picture' versions of The Alphabetic Code overview charts with ANY synthetic phonics programme. No-one HAS to use the phoneme picture version!
Please remember that the resources of Phonics International are varied and teachers can simply select those which are most suitable for their learners and their settings - although please never neglect to use the Sounds Book activity sheets which are the core of the programme.
