Welcome to the home of The Code Overrlay! Phonemies®, pronounced /f əʊ n iː m i: z/, are IPA aligned Speech Sound Monsters® that show the code: Learn how to support Speech Sound Mapping from Birth
Sounds First, Word First Mapping!
For teachers who are passionate about how ALL children feel when learning to read.
The needs of EVERYONE within our neurodiverse community must be nurtured, respected, and celebrated.

Let's get children excited about word mapping and bring back The Story People!
