The Sounds-Write Scope and Sequence

Our decodable books follow the Sounds-Write scope and sequence, a systematic synthetic phonics program by John Walker (UK). Selected with ESL learners in mind, it carefully manages cognitive overload through a clear, scaffolded approach. This scope and sequence includes the Initial Code, Extended Code and Polysyllabic Words. ESL Reads is currently developing the Initial Code.
