Korshub's take

Overview

The follow-up to a free Sounds-Write phonics course for parents, continuing to guide children aged 4 to 6 through more complex words in the Initial Code. It's explicitly a sequel — the course states you should complete the first "Help your child to read and write" course before starting this one.

Who it's for

Parents and carers who have already completed the first course in this series and want to continue supporting a child's phonics learning, including those homeschooling or supporting a child using Sounds-Write at school.

Key takeaways

Continued work through Units 8–11 of the Sounds-Write Initial Code
Covering digraphs such as sh, ch, th, ck, wh, ng, plus qu in single-syllable words
Resources and activities to practice with your child at home

Note that this course covers only the Initial Code, not the Extended Code or polysyllabic word reading and spelling — those are outside its scope.

About this course

This course is the follow-up to our free Udemy course: 'Help your child to read and write'. Please complete that course first before you embark on this one.

In this course, you continue learning about the Sounds-Write phonics program, and help your child to deal with more complex words in the Initial Code. You will also have access to resources and activities to continue helping your child on their road to literacy.

The course is designed for parents and carers of children aged 4 to 6 who have already done the first course in this series, and who want to help their children to become literate.

If your child is using Sounds-Write at school, this course will teach you how to support them with their homework. This course is also suitable for those who are homeschooling their children.

Please note that this course only deals with the Initial Code (Units 8-11), which covers one-to-one spelling correspondences plus <sh>, <ch>, <th>, <ck>, <wh> <ng> and <q and <u> in single-syllable words. The course does not teach the Extended Code (i.e. all the different ways of spelling the rest of the vowels and consonants), nor does it teach how to read and spell polysyllabic words
