Catch Up Your Code: Wall Chart by Joy Allcock (author) (UK edition)

“How can teachers unravel the mysteries of written English, teach sound recognition, decoding and letter-sound knowledge? By using this book!” – Professor John Hattie

Catch Up Your Code identifies and addresses gaps in knowledge of the alphabetic code of English. This knowledge is critical for efficient decoding and spelling, as any gaps impact negatively on reading comprehension and quality writing.

The Catch Up Your Code programme begins with a short assessment to identify gaps in code knowledge, then provides a series of fast, effective 10-minute lessons to close the gaps. The series supports both remote or face-to-face learning environments.

The poster-size Wall Chart illustrates the sounds of English and the different ways each sound can be written (phoneme – grapheme relationships). It provides teachers and students with a comprehensive reference for locating common spelling patterns and for recalling the diversity of the alphabetic code.
