Skills and concepts to reinforce

Our spoken words are made up of smaller parts; we call them speech sounds.

Our speech sounds can be represented on paper using speech sound pics. (the pictures we take of our speech sounds with our speech sound camera)

If we look at a word, in print, we can say the speech sounds that link with the speech sound pics in order from left to right, and blend these speech sounds into a word. (decoding)

s a t = sat

If we listen carefully to a spoken word and identify the speech sounds, in order, we can make choices on paper, to represent the word in print (encoding)Within SSP children become used to first writing lines, as they say the speech sounds, to reinforce segmenting and blending skills. This is really helpful as the code becomes more complex, and there are numerous speech sound pic choices.

Eight in a boat

SSP YellowLevel Reader

Can you see the

fluffy kitten on the little

green boat?

Who is on the boat with the fluffy kitten?

The owl is on the little green boat with the kitten.

The kitten thinks it will rain, but it

looks sunny.

Who is flying in the sky?

The bee is buzzing high in the sky.

The bee thinks it is too hot and sunny.

“ Shall I fly to the moon? ” said the buzzy bee.

‘Or shall I fly to the boat for a rest and a drink?

Just as the bee looked at the green boat he saw a box floating by the boat.

The kitten got the box in to the boat.

What do you think is in the box?

….it is a teddy !

The buzzy bee, the kitten, the owl and the teddy sat in the boat.

The fish looked up at the boat. The boat is getting full !

Suddenly there was a yell.

“Help !’ said the King and Queen.

We fell off the ship as it was windy.

The buzzy bee, the kitten, the owl, the teddy, the King andQueen sat in the boat.

Then Jenny and the dolphin got in.

Can you see eight in the boat?

‘There is no room onthe boat !’ said the owl.

He was cross.

Then it began to rain..

‘We will get wet !’ said the owl.

‘Cheer up’ said the kitten. ‘ I will not get wet. I will be dry.’ She began to giggle.Cheeky kitten.
