Studies (e.g., Major et al., 2021; Shemschack et al., 2021) have found that the successful implementation of personalised learning is dependent on the use of technology. Speech Sound Mapping (SSM) technology has the potential to revolutionise how children with Speech, Language, and Communication Needs (SLCN) express themselves, how ESL children learn to speak English, and how we screen for dyslexia before children turn 3. It also facilitates word mapping through discovery learning, paving the way for personalised, next-gen education with PlayKnowlogy."

Children are only taught around 85–100 GPCs within commercial phonics programmes, leaving 250+ to be figured out in other ways!
Even skilled readers might struggle to determine how to pronounce certain words. Teachers may be able to identify the likely graphemes, but how do they know the phoneme part of the GPCs?
Adults might check the IPA: /ɡælɪmɔːfri/
This is exactly what children do when using the tech to check words!
Phonemies are used by learners of all ages and at all stages—not just beginning readers!
The tech is being developed to help anyone explore words—all words!

Speech Sound Mapping works better for all!
MyWordz® with MySpeekie®
The world's first ONE-SCREEN communication device, designed for non-speaking autistic toddlers but loved by all!
Children can get written words to appear on the screen, even though they can't (yet) read or spell them themselves. How? They type words in Phonemies! - IPA aligned Speech Sound Monsters.
They can even have the words voiced! This allows them to tell anyone EXACTLY what they want, reducing frustration and fostering positive relationship building through more effective communication. No more pointing to objects or having picture symbols scattered around the house—one device empowers them to communicate, with or without a voice: MySpeekie®. The focus being on personalised learning:
MyWordz®.
While learning how 'speech sounds' are articulated in English and how they 'map' to the pictures of the sounds—i.e., letters or strings of letters ('Sound Pics', also known as graphemes)—children will naturally uncover the hidden code that many struggle to grasp when learning to read and spell through traditional methods.

You can purchase the app for a £134.99 one-time price for use on phones and tablets, or opt for a £95 yearly subscription for website login—ideal for classroom whiteboards—with the option to add the app version for £5.75 per device (bulk discounts available for schools).
Speech Sound Mapping: Discovery Learning in Mind
When you show the code, you don't need to 'explicitly teach' the concepts—the 'Code Mapping®' (black/grey to indicate the Sound Pics®/graphemes) plus the Phonemies to show the sound value just make sense to children's brains.
Word Mapping Mastery!
A groundbreaking one-screen AAC device is poised to make a significant impact in the growing AAC market, driven by the increasing prevalence of Speech, Language, and Communication Needs (SLCN), with 1 in 3 children starting school requiring additional support. The AAC market, growing at an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%, is projected to reach $5.2 billion globally by 2031, highlighting the rising demand for accessible and inclusive communication tools.
The accompanying book illustrates how the device can be used to ensure children can learn to read and spell without difficulties. However, the initial focus is on giving children a voice. Empowering children to communicate effectively ensures they can express themselves, connect with others, and fully participate in their learning and social environments. This emphasis on communication not only addresses immediate needs but also establishes a foundation for long-term academic and personal growth. By combining innovative technology with a user-focused design, this device is uniquely positioned to meet the growing demand in the AAC market while supporting children’s literacy and self-expression.
