Snappy Sounds is a systematic, synthetic phonics programme. This programme is approved for English First Additional Language Foundation Phase. It teaches learners to grasp the 44 English phonemes (sounds) and the 200 or more graphemes (combinations of letters) that represent them. The programme features a carefully selected series of Graded Readers and supplementary components required to effectively teach learners how to read. The Snappy Sounds Phonics Frieze Cards are large-format cards used to teach new phoneme-grapheme (sound-letter) correspondences. They introduce new sounds and letters using the target letter(s), a key word and picture on the front, and a quick ‘cheat sheet’ for the lessons on the back of each card.

The Phonics Frieze Cards feature:
• Phonics: the cards reinforce Snappy phonics scope and progression during lessons.
• Integration: the cards align with all Snappy Sounds components to emphasise sound and letter correspondences.
• Teacher support: the cards include labels, making them easy to use alongside the Teacher’s Guide, and phonics lesson guidelines on the back.
• Language support: the cards provide additional decodable words, extensions and captions on the back.
• Computational thinking and 21st century skills: the cards support teaching and learning of skills through phonics reinforcement, collaboration and interactivity during lessons.
• Activities and assessments: the cards can be used for effective phonics assessments and activities.
• DEI support: the cards display inclusive and diverse pictures, while maintaining accessibility through large format, bolded text and colour coding.
