Snappy Sounds – A systematic, synthetic phonics program for Foundation and Year 1
Snappy Sounds is a systematic, synthetic phonics series, built by world class educators, authors and speech pathologists. It has been designed to make teaching phonics as simple and as speedy as possible for you and your class. Children will enjoy reading because the resources build confidence quickly.
Snappy Sounds Assessment supports a regular check on students’ phonics knowledge and skills. It is specifically designed to inform phonics teaching by:
• Checking mastery of the phonics knowledge and skills taught during a Snappy Sounds sequence
• Revealing gaps in student knowledge and identifying precise areas for extra support or intervention
• Providing data to support the teacher’s decision to move on to the next level of the Snappy Sounds sequence
The Assessment Kit includes:
- Two assessments for every Snappy sounds sequence
- Lists of decodable words and non-words to check student knowledge of phoneme-grapheme correspondences
- Unseen texts to check reading fluency and accuracy in context
- Answers and tips in the teacher card
- A tricky high frequency word check
- Tracking sheets and marking guidance.
The 1 Kit is for both Foundation and Year 1.
