CODE-ED REWARDS IS NEARLY OVER

Over the past few weeks we've shared ideas from Joy Allcock's work, Jill Eggleton's classroom resources and the thinking behind the speech-to-sound-to-print approach.
If you've been considering a conversation with your Literacy Consultant, now is the perfect time.

Code-Ed Rewards finish at the end of Term 3.

If you can't meet before then, we'll honour your Reward during the first two weeks of Term 4.

It's our way of helping schools continue strengthening structured literacy while getting even more from their literacy investment.

We'd love to support your next step.

Professor Sir James Chapman didn’t simply observe Joy Allcock’s work. He helped put it to the test.

A highly regarded literacy researcher, Chapman designed and evaluated the Shine literacy research project, testing Joy’s approach across diverse groups of learners.
His research career also included decades of collaboration with Professor Bill Tunmer, co-creator of the Simple View of Reading.

So what Chapman says about Joy’s work is worth reading.

He describes her commitment to translating theory and research into practice as:
“Outstanding.”

He says Joy has taken a “path less common in contemporary ‘science of reading’ research” and describes her as “among the pioneers” of research into speech-to-sound-to-print aspects of literacy acquisition.

Chapman also highlights the impact across all learners, with some of the greatest benefits for students who began with greater disadvantage, without disadvantaging those who were quick to learn to read.

Professor Chapman wrote these reflections to support Joy’s nomination for a Brian Street Award which she was awarded at the Literacy Research Association conference in Atlanta, Georgia in 2024.

We’re making his original statement available to read in full.

Read Professor Sir James Chapman’s statement and explore Joy Allcock’s research, evidence and approach.

GREAT TEACHING DESERVES GREAT TOOLS

One of the greatest privileges Joy Allcock has had over the past twenty years has been working alongside passionate teachers.

Teachers who continually ask...

"How can I help every learner succeed?"

Great teaching has always been at the heart of literacy success.

The right resources make that learning accessible, clearer and more engaging.

Code-Ed provides practical, evidence-proven classroom resources that strengthen any structured literacy programme while engaging learners every step of the way.

Because when teachers are well supported, students thrive.

In Term 3, Code-Ed Rewards are back to help schools access even more of the resources that make every literacy dollar work harder.

Joy Allcock is a problem solver.

She began her career as an occupational therapist, a profession grounded in understanding how people learn, identifying barriers to success, and working out what needs to be in place for learning to happen.

Joy took that problem-solving mindset into education.

She wanted to understand exactly how children learn to read and write, and what teachers need to know and do to make literacy learning accessible to every student.

That work led her to a fundamentally asset-based starting point:
Every learner brings their own spoken vocabulary to the classroom — words they can say, use and understand.

That is their language.

Start there. Connect the words students can say to the sounds within those words, and then to print.

Speech → Sound → Print.

It is an approach designed for every learner, with the learning differentiated by what each student knows and is ready to learn next.

Today, Joy shares her evidence-proven approach and resources with educators, supporting them to make literacy learning accessible to every student.
In support of every learner.

When Professor John Hattie says, “I love this approach,” it’s worth finding out why.

Hattie has followed Joy Allcock's literacy work over decades — from the research behind it to what the approach looks like in real classrooms.

He describes her resources and assessments as “a step above most programs” and highlights something central to Joy'swork: the power of teaching students to understand and write the sounds in words they already know.
He has even used Key Foundations with his own grandchildren, writing that he was “in awe” of their engagement and learning.

And when he recently reviewed the early literacy results from Hampton City Schools in Virginia?

“The effect sizes are remarkable.”

What is it about Joy Allcock's Speech-to-sound-to-print approach that has caught John Hattie's attention?

SHOW STUDENTS HOW LEARNING CONNECTS

Students bring a wealth of spoken language, knowledge, and experience into every classroom.

Joy Allcock’s speech-to-sound-to-print approach shows teachers how to use that existing knowledge as the starting point for new literacy learning.
A familiar spoken word becomes a place to identify a sound.
That sound connects to print.

Print connects to words, meaning, reading and writing.
Learning is revisited and strengthened throughout the day.

Code-Ed resources make this process clear and practical for teachers. They provide the instructional steps, language, activities, and classroom support needed to help students make meaningful connections, rather than them learning isolated bits of information.

Code-Ed does not replace the structured literacy programmes schools are already using.

It shows teachers how to strengthen them by connecting learning, increasing engagement, and helping more students successfully access instruction across Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 and beyond.

Code-Ed Rewards are back for Term 3, helping schools access more evidence-proven resources while making their literacy investment go further.

Meet with your Literacy Consultant to discover what Code Ed could add to the strong literacy work already happening in your school.
