Catch up your code: Student book

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.

Any gaps impact negatively on reading comprehension and quality writing. Catch Up Your Code starts with a short assessment to identify gaps in code knowledge, then provides a series of fast, effective 10-minute lessons to close the gaps. This series supports both remote or face-to-face learning environments. This Practice Book provides students with practice activities: identifying the diverse written code for each sound of English counting syllables in words identifying the vowel spelling pattern in each syllable
