This is what Sounds~Write have to say ....

Sounds~Write is an exciting, new approach to the teaching of reading,
spelling and writing. We offer week-long, intensive courses to classroom practitioners, educational psychologists and members of local authority support teams in this new approach to the teaching of literacy.

Our approach draws together modern research findings to produce a sequential and explicit alphabet code-oriented programme for teaching all pupils to read and spell.

Sounds~Write meets all the requirements for a phonics programme as defined by the UK Government's Department for Children, Schools and Familes (DCSF - formerly the DfES). The DCSF's independent assessors have recently (Dec 2007) scrutinised our self-assessment and approved its accuracy.  See our entry on the DCSF Standards Website for full details.

Sounds~Write's interactive whiteboard software for Smartboard can now be purchased using eLearning credits (eLCs). For more on eLCs see this page.

Sounds~Write: Data from the first four years of whole class usage

The first Sounds~Write training courses were trialed in March 2003. From the outset we were determined to investigate the outcomes of teaching with the programme. Success for any literacy tuition programme can only be measured in terms of the numbers of pupils taught by it who actually end up literate, by which we include being able to both read and write. We have therefore started the process of tracking pupils taught by the Sounds~Write approach during their first four years of primary schooling, i.e., from the start of Reception until the end of Year Three. We now have data on a total of over 2500 pupils drawn from classes in thirty-six state primary schools geographically located in three different parts of the United Kingdom.

The full story so far is contained in this pdf file... sw_research_report_07.pdf
