We are proud to offer our interactive whiteboard presentations for the Initial Code and Extended Code. As with the entirety of our programme, we have spent a good deal of time ensuring that these presentations meet the very highest of standards.

Interactive Whiteboard Presentations for the Initial Code

Staff at Aspley Guise Lower School in Bedfordshire are just some of the satisfied trainers that we have supplied our interactive whiteboards to in the past. Please see their comments below:

"We have been using the Initial Code software in our class every day for the last twelve months. It is very user friendly both for the teacher and the children and makes preparation for each lesson quick and easy. It allows you to deliver the lesson at the required fast pace. All the words used in each unit are available at the click of a mouse and are clearly set up under each lesson heading. Word lists are also available, which saves a great deal of preparation time. The software is particularly useful when another teacher has covered the class as she can just pick up from the previous day's teaching. The children really enjoy using the software, although if using in a reception class you need to ensure that you can lower the Interactive Whiteboard to the children's level so that they can easily move the sounds on the board." (Reception staff)

"The software gives the children an opportunity to move the words/letters easily and model their responses. From the teacher's point of view all the resources are pre-made and readily available, which certainly cuts down on our workload."' (Literacy co-ordinator)

"The software enables us to deliver the Sounds-Write programme in an efficient and effective way. It enhances lesson delivery and enables interactive pupil participation. I am certain that the children are learning their sounds at a faster pace and reading more confidently since the software was utilised." (Headteacher)

The presentations consist of 338 slides, 33 of which have been specially illustrated for us by Judith Wardle. The sequence of slides follows the order of the Sounds-Write programme and the presentation is available in two different versions; SMART Notebook software and Promethean’s Activstudio and Activprimary software.

Sounds-Write's interactive whiteboard presentations were assessed and approved by the UK government's 'Curriculum Online' agency in 2007.

We have a short introduction to the presentations on Youtube - Please follow this link for the Youtube video.

We are so confident of the quality of our work, that we supply the CDs ‘on approval’: in the unlikely event that you do not want to keep and use the presentations, you can return your CD to us within fourteen days and pay nothing.

Interactive Whiteboard Presentations for the Extended Code (Units 1 - 25)

This disk is also available in a choice of SmartBoard or Promethean formats. It contains activities for all the first twenty-five units of the Extended Code as well as polysyllabic words for reading and spelling.

As Sounds-Write practitioners will be aware, the phoneme and grapheme units contain a range of activities. For example, there are word building activities with puzzles, sorting activities, find the spellings, sound reviews, opportunities to build ‘silly sentences’, as well as building and reading polysyllabic words.

All presentations are displayed in an attractive format for children at any key stage and learning objectives and instructions are given in user-friendly terms.

Sounds-Write activities are designed to provide daily practice for all children learning to read and spell, whether as beginning readers or as catch-up. They give pupils practice in the skills of blending, segmenting and phoneme manipulation: the skills identified as being key to proficient reading and spelling. They also rapidly develop pupils’ knowledge of the alphabet code as well as their understanding of how the writing system works in relation to the sounds of everyday language.

A Literacy Co-ordinator's View:

"We currently use the interactive whiteboard extended code disc throughout our school. The disc is extremely comprehensive and has a large number of activities to fit in with all of the extended code lessons. Polysyllabic lessons ensure that higher ability children are challenged on a daily basis. Another benefit of using the disc is that lessons are prepared for you and are ready at the click of a button. The children are also more motivated to participate in lessons when the interactive whiteboard is being used. We are delighted to be able to use the extended code disc in our school." (Mick James, Literacy co-ordinator, Springfield Lower School).

 

The CDs generally cost £200 per school (£240 inc. VAT) - though see the special offers in force until the end of August 2012, details in the order forms.  There is no additional fee for each classroom you want to use these materials in. The licence agreement allows each school to make and use up to five copies of the CD, which in turn enables the use of the presentations in multiple classrooms at the same time. Alternatively, you may wish to store the presentations on the school's server - also allowed within the terms of the licence.
