Catch Up Your Code: Student Book by Joy Allcock (author) (UK edition)

“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, as any gaps impact negatively on reading comprehension and quality writing.

The Catch Up Your Code programme begins with a short assessment to identify gaps in code knowledge, then provides a series of fast, effective 10-minute lessons to close the gaps. The 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
