Sounds-Write
What is Sounds-Write? 
Sounds-Write is an expertly structured synthetic phonics programme based on the science of reading.
Pupils are introduced to the 175 most common spellings of the 44 sounds in English through a carefully crafted sequence that goes from simple to more complex. They learn and practise the Initial Code to mastery before starting on the Extended Code, and, soon after, the reading and writing of polysyllabic words.
