The Code-Ed Sound Poems are large-format cards with poems that represent every sound of English.
Together, the rhythmical, rhyming text written by Jill Eggleton, and the simple, age-appropriate activities developed by Joy Allcock help children learn foundational literacy skills, develop knowledge of language, vocabulary, and the diversity of the alphabetic code.
The Sound Poems are included in Year 2 of The Code Is the Key but can also be purchased separately.
The set includes 45 A2-size Sound Poem Cards with an illustrated poem on the front that gives students the opportunity to listen for the sounds of English in different positions in words. Activities on the back of each card build a variety of foundational literacy skills, including:
The first card in the set is a helpful guide for using the Sound Poems.
The front of the card features a guide to all 45 rhymes, one for each sound of English.
The back of the card explains how to use the activities and provides an overview of Joy Allcock’s speech-to-sounds-to-print approach, which allows students to very quickly learn the alphabetic code of English.
Digital and printable versions of the Sound Poems are included with the complete set for interactive and flexible use.
The digital rhymes allow the rhymes to be projected for the whole class.
The printable rhymes gives students the chance to find the spelling patterns for the focus sound on their own, to create their own illustration for the rhyme, and to make up their own verse using the phoneme-grapheme relationships they have learned.
The Sound Poems build strong foundational literacy skills with activities that are simple, fast, and fun.
