For example you might do this for any level, just change the sound pics, and be aware of new concepts. Listening for the word (given speech sounds) Give the word, student gives speech sounds What is the first sound, middle, last… Spell these words… (use the SSP Spelling Process) Read these words… Start with the word X – how many new words can you make, changing one sound pic at a time? Here is one sound pic for the X speech sound- do you know another? (look at speech sound cloud) Alphabet letter writing (phrases, not letter names)

SSP Decoding (reading)

Children give the speech sound for sound pics starting from left to right, sounding out the word. If unsure, the adult can say the word, and then the child can work out the speech sound to sound pic link. Don’t ever just give them the word, and let them guess it.
