Word Mapping Training Site for Parents and Self-Funded Teachers
Learn more about orthographic word mapping so you can confidently evaluate structured literacy and systematic phonics programmes, interventions and resources, and choose approaches that best meet the needs of your child or students.
Show the Code is not a programme or intervention. It is training designed to deepen your understanding of how words are mapped between speech and print for both reading and spelling, helping you make informed decisions about the support, teaching approaches and resources you use with individual learners.
Our Foundation Course launches here shortly.

Easy-to-follow training in print-to-speech and speech-to-print word mapping for all ages and stages, helping learners connect speech and print to read and spell with confidence.

Children in Reception are able to see which letters represent phonemes when words are mapped, and we can now do this automatically using word code mapping technology. We can, and should, Show the Code to map words in both directions: print to speech for reading, and speech to print for writing.
By making the complete bidirectional code visible, Show the Code™ supports the orthographic mapping and self-teaching processes that enable children to move confidently between speech and print, store words in memory, and become independent readers and spellers.

MyWordz®: Show the Code Technology
Show the Code™ with MyWordz®
Show the Code™ makes the hidden code of English visible for all words, at the moment of need. By showing which letters work together as graphemes and what sounds they represent, children can read words they haven't seen before, spell words they want to write, and understand how spoken words connect to print.
Rather than being given isolated pieces of code and expected to work out the rest, children can see the complete code within words. This allows the brain to detect patterns, build connections, and store words more efficiently through orthographic mapping and statistical learning.
As children repeatedly see which letters are graphemes, and their sound value in words, which can be adapted for accents, they begin to recognise these patterns for themselves. The goal is not to teach any rules or strategies. The goal is for children to understand how speech maps to print so that the brain can store words and discover patterns naturally.
This training is designed to show you the word code, and teach you to use the tech, so that you can guide your child or student to mastery the word mapping code for themselves.
By making the complete bidirectional code visible, Show the Code™ uniquely supports the orthographic mapping and self-teaching processes that enable children to move confidently between speech and print, store words in memory, and become independent readers and spellers.
