Resources to help your child at home. The Speech Sound Pics (SSP) Approach utilises the power of brain plasticity, and actually ‘wires’ brains for reading and spelling. The best way to understand

the approach is to come in and help, during an SSP session. Broadbeach State School parents can request a free login to the online resources at

www.MySpeedySSP.com Please contact Mrs Brown for more info.

You can follow your child’s learning journey on Facebook.com/ReadAustralia and also on Youtube.com/SoundPics

Please do come in and listen to your child read in the morning, from 8.45am – 9am.

Readers are sorted in the student’s ‘Code Level’, enabling them to read for fluency and comprehension quickly and easily, and will be accessible before the

end of the week. What matters is not how many words are in the book, but how the words are ‘coded’. Also see www.SSPReaders.com

Levels : Green/ Purple / Yellow / Blue. There is no need to guess or memorise, as children independently read their ‘reader’ without any help. Watch these

Year 2 students who used SSP last term. After 8 weeks ALL brains have been ‘wired’ for reading and spelling. They can read and spell any words, even out of

context. Imagine how amazing their reading is, when they can also visualise the story. All now have a reading age above their chronological age.

Explicit Teaching Order. SSP facilitates ‘differentiated teaching’ approach, so students move through the levels at their own pace.

In order to effectively use ‘Duck Hands’ you simply need to understand this concept.







With Visual Prompts







Alongside explicit teaching students discover the whole code, using the Spelling Clouds, and through daily reading activities.

This is the Spelling Strategy used for any unfamiliar word.

Duck Hands enable students to split speech sounds into phonemes (not syllables)
