CAREGIVER’S GUIDE TO SOUNDS LIKE FUN
- WELCOME -
S
ounds like Fun is the first App in Joy Allcock’s successful Word Detective
literacy series and is designed to accompany the pre-phonics book of the
same name. On our website is a document detailing the Steps to Success that
comprise the Word Detective series plus the philosophy and methodology behind the popular series.
After 8-years, quantitative data regarding it’s positive effect within the classroom environment has become available. Analysis of this data has yielded two
distinct trends. First, the series is All-inclusive, helping those doing well to do
better and giving those that have fallen behind the skills to enjoy remarkable
improvements. Secondly, the earlier the children started with Joy’s material
the greater the difference they attained throughout their education versus the
national average.
There are 7 fundamental ingredients for productive English learning and whilst
all our Apps cater for many of these, nothing can adequately replace the benefits of personal interaction, be it with a teacher, parent or peers.
HEAR IT – SPOKEN CLEARLY
SAY IT – PRACTICE WHAT YOU HEAR
SEE IT - SEE THE IMAGES WHILST SAYING/HEARING THEM
ENJOY IT – LEARNING IS SO MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE WHEN FUN AND INTERACTIVE
EMBED IT – REPETITION
TAILOR IT – ENCOURAGE THE USE OF VOCABULARY LEARNED IN THE HOME AND
EVERYDAY LIFE
CONSTANT USE – TOTAL IMMERSION.
Thus, whilst this document provides helpful explanations as to why and what

the child is learning, it also offers suggestions, study aids and games for reinforcement within the home.
- BACKGROUND -
A
s humans we are born with the innate ability to communicate via speech.
We are not on the other hand, born with the innate ability to either read or
write. These are both skills that we have to develop on the back of our spoken
knowledge. Thus, it would seem logical to learn the basics of speech before
complicating matters with reading and writing. Rather like walking before you
can run. This is the approach Joy takes and explains why, for the user, there
are no letters associated with any sounds in this App. Accepting this approach
will help in understanding one of the biggest issues facing the early teachings
of literacy.
Spoken English is broken down into 45/46 individual sounds (depending on
your nationality/accent). These sounds are known as phonemes. Regardless of
your accent, there are still only 26 letters in the alphabet so how is it possible
to represent all 46 phonemes with just 26-letters? The answer is: it isn’t! Most
of us are taught /S/ for “Snake” but what about the sound of the /S/ in the
words “sugar” or “his.” Clearly these are different sounds and linking a single
letter to multiple sounds so early can lead to confusion in later learning that
is much better avoided. Instead the individual sounds are linked to graphemes
which are letters or combinations. For example, the word “book” is comprised
of three individual phonemes represented by the following graphemes: /b/ /
oo/ /k/*.
The only time when a single letter is used in conjunction with two different
sounds is when dealing with vowels and even then they are separated by categories with an associated description e.g. short-vowel /a/ for anchor, axe or
long-vowel /a/ for apron, eight, ape. The word “eight” is deliberately included
to help reinforce that only SOUND is the important factor and to highlight that
the long-vowel sound /a/ can be written various ways.
*sounds are written between // to differentiate them e.g. the “b-sound” in book is written /b/
8
CAREGIVER’S GUIDE TO SOUNDS LIKE FUN
- WHY IS THE LEARNING OF SOUNDS SO IMPORTANT? -
U
nderstanding that the words apron and eight are pronounced the same
way is not a reason to justify extensive classroom study. BUT, being able to
understand the rules of English enough to know that the long vowel sound /a/
can be written differently depending on the circumstances of its use is crucial
for good reading, writing and spelling. An overwhelming amount of evidence
shows that once phonics knowledge is incorporated only then can the proper
teaching of the alphabetic code begin.
It is the joint application of this knowledge that results in a dramatic simplification of the spelling rules. Being able to properly understand and utilise this
knowledge results in enjoyable advances in reading, writing and spelling
- SOUNDS LIKE FUN / WORKFLOW The objective of this App is to teach the 45/46 sounds of English whilst introducing new and varied vocabulary.
The sounds are divided into 5-groups. These are listed below together with the
sounds they contain. The sounds are themselves placed in groups of two or
three for ease of use.
GROUP 1 – CONSONANTS: (/P/ /T/ /K/), (/B/ /D/ /G/), (/CH/ /J/), (/Y/ /W/), (/X/ QU/)
GROUP 2 – CONSONANTS: (/S/ /SH/ /TH/), (/F/ /H/), (/V/ /Z/), (/M/ /N/ /NG/), (/L/ /R/), (/ZH/ /TH/)
SHORT VOWELS: (/A/ /E/ /I/), (/O/ /U/ /OO/)
LONG VOWELS: (/A/ /I/ /U/), (/E/ /O/ /OO/)
OTHER VOWEL SOUNDS: (/ER/ /OR/ /AR/), (/EAR/ /AIR), (/OY/ /OW/), (/AW/)*
*the /aw/ sound is the 46th sound common only in American and Canadian dialects

THE APPBACH
THE SOUNDS ARE PRESENTED IN THE APP AS SHOWN IN THE SCREENSHOT BELOW
You will notice that below each sound group are 4 picture boxes. These represent the four levels that the user needs to pass through with each sound group
in order to progress. The yellow box marks the progress of the user. At any
time, you may choose to go back and repeat a sound group that come before
the yellow box. However you are unable to jump in front. The stars at the top
are there to reward the user on completion of each sound group.
LEVEL 1 – UNDERSEA – LEARNING THE SOUND (HEAR IT / SAY IT)
On pressing the yellow bubble, the user will hear and should repeat the sounds
as they are spoken. These are the individual phonemes
10
CAREGIVER’S GUIDE TO SOUNDS LIKE FUN
LEVEL 2 – BUTTERFLY – REINFORCING THE SOUND AND ASSOCIATING IT WITH AN
IMAGE (HEAR IT / SEE IT)
Pressing the 5 eyes on the butterfly will reveal 5 images that contain the sound
being learnt (with the exception of (/zh/ and /th/) which have only two and
four images respectively). For ease of learning, care has been taken at this
stage to find images that generally position the sound in the same place in
each word e.g.
At the front e.g.
/sh/
or the back e.g. /o/ of the words
Shark
Tomato
Shoe
Bow & Arrow
Ship
Wheelbarrow
Shell
Rainbow
Shed
Window
Nevertheless, it is not always possible. This is not a problem, on the contrary, it
is good that children learn to expect diversity early on and not be constrained
by rules.
This level blends sound analysis with vocabulary learning.
LEVEL 3 – JACK-IN-THE-BOX (ENJOY IT, EMBED IT)
Probably the most enjoyable game for the younger user, it practices the sound
analysis skills whilst reinforcing the new vocabulary. It is important to understand the child cannot move forward in the App until answering correctly. In
the meantime, any wrong answer is still serving the purpose of reinforcing the
vocabulary being learnt. Thus caregivers are encouraged to leave the child
to play as long as possible seeing as there is quite a lot of incentive to get it
wrong!
LEVEL 4 – HIDE AND SEEK (ADULT SUPERVISION MAY BE REQUIRED)
Potentially the most rewarding part of the App it is also the most difficult for
the younger user just because of the sheer magnitude of information that
11
THE APPBACH
needs to be processed. However, you are encouraged to help until the child is
able to search the screens alone. Once they have grasped the idea you will be
amazed at how well they remember where to find the images. It is deliberate
as it not only consolidates vocabulary knowledge but it also stimulates visual
recognition skills.

CAREGIVER’S GUIDE TO SOUNDS LIKE FUN
- MOVING THROUGH THE APP Within the classroom the App would represent a core component of 16-weeks
of tuition. Learning would be broken down into one or two groups of sounds
and then reinforced communally. To
get the best out of the App we recommend that a similar approach is
taken at home. Within the house
there are many items that not only
- SCENES STRUCTURE begin but contain the sounds being
learned e.g. the long-vowel sound

Be careful as (a) you will be sur13
THE APPBACH
prised by how many words they know and (b) the complexity of some of the
words.
I am wearing a magic T-shirt and it has an imaginary
word on it. The word begins with /f/. Can you guess what it is?
Sound Bingo. If you are prepared to take the time to prepare some picture
cards you can pass them about and call out the “sounds”. The players need
to yell out the images that contain that sound if they have one – excellent for
vocabulary and interactive learning.
Make the games interesting, interactive and enjoyable for the players (ie.
Don’t make them too difficult). If, for example, your child is into space adventures the word “droid” for the /oy/ sound can easily be related to everyday
play. If they are into fairy tales, “royal” might be a better choice.
Try and incorporate the sounds into your speech for that day. In example 5,
there are 4 words that have the /oy/ sound.
Use the images and guides in Sounds like Fun to encourage the child to
come out with the words/sounds. For example when learning the /or/ sound
you can move to the zoo scene and say “What’s that animal?” (lion) “Correct!
And what sound does the lion make?” (roar). Other examples include Cow –
“moo” /oo/, Cuckoo – “cuckoo, cuckoo” /oo/, Cat – “meow” /ow/ etc.
Children love stories and even more so, stories that have been made up by
their parents. Why not spend a little time each day writing a short story that
incorporates as many of the day’s sounds as possible. Free your mind! Madeup words, worlds and creatures are all valid at this age.

CAREGIVER’S GUIDE TO SOUNDS LIKE FUN
- KEY Image: The image used in the App to represent the sound
#: 1 – words/images used in the US/Can version and either not used or used
for a different sound in the NZ/Aus/UK version.
#: 2 – words/images used in the NZ/Aus/UK version and either not used or
used for a different sound in the US/Can version.
Group: The general category under which each sound has been classified within the App
Sound: the sound displayed by graphemes. The apostrophe after or before the
sound helps guide its position with the words and hence difference in pronunciation e.g. /th’/ is the sound at the start of the word and /th/ is in the middle
of the word
Scene: The picture in which the image can be found (see Page 5) in Level 4
Additional Words: These are some simple everyday words that can be incorporated into your own activities and vocabulary to reinforce the sound learned.
* - indicates an image that has been used in conjunction with another
sound in the App (e.g. Ape for /p/ and Ape for long vowel /a/). This
is not the same thing as associating two words with the same image
(e.g. ape and monkey) and is something we have deliberately avoided.
It is good that children learn that words can contain different sounds
and is in fact the next step in learning. However, please do not force
the issue if you think it is leading to confusion.
~ - indicates a word that can be used in conjunction with an image
in the App to enhance it’s understanding, interest or placement. For
example, an additional word in sound /p/ is erupt. Not the easiest of
words to explain to a 3-year old unless used in conjunction with the
image of the volcano in scene 7a.
