Seeds is not a programme, its bunch of tools.

Spelling should not be a seperate programme but need to have explicit decoding programme.

Literacy side set up in progression - check with rhymes, blending, splitting and finally phonemes.

Need to expose the kids to all sounds just not the one on  the alphabet card. There are 42 - 45 sounds.

We use  3 ways to do decoding -   with you,  preview, review

Put your finger on the picture that starts with the same sound as the word i say , put your finger on the pic that has the same sound at the end as the word i say.

what sound is the spelling ? rather than what sound does the letter o makes.
Teach the sound first then the alphabet.

In the beginning just introduce c not k as it confuses them. only use k when it is followed by the e

O sound  'a' after w pattern - Wash, watch, wand, wallet, wasp.
o sound 'o '  - lock, spot, pond, frog

Boss the sentence - change who, what, where , when in a sentence and have different sentences with the same word. Manipulate with the words.strip it, rearrange it ,  re order it, sharpen it. do it until they get it.
