"Show the Spelling Code!"
Phonemies help children see, hear, and articulate phonemes, which makes the speech to print relationship clearer and word mapping more accessible. This visual and linguistic support is particularly helpful for neurodivergent learners who benefit from explicit cues when developing early reading and spelling skills.

Word mapping makes reading far easier for all children. It reduces guesswork, slow and labour-intensive single-word reading, and the anxiety that arises when reading feels too difficult. When children struggle, they disengage. A strong early foundation greatly increases the likelihood that they will read for pleasure.
During lockdown, Emma Hartnell-Baker, The Neurodivergent Reading Whisperer®, made the exciting decision to obtain the publishing rights to the One, Two, Three and Away! series, written by award-winning children's author Sheila McCullagh, who was passionate about early reading for pleasure. The updated teacher handbook shows how we ensure that every child achieves orthographic mapping in a natural and neuroinclusive way.
The NeuroReadies Learning Pathway offers a different way to learn phonics. It builds orthographic knowledge and delivers what 1 in 4 children miss in synthetic phonics programmes.
