Crack The Code has been carefully developed over the last 20 years. It has already been implemented into many schools across New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory as a key facet of their literacy programs with already very impressive results. Crack The Code is a sequential and systematic synthetic phonics program that incorporates visual (using vowel hand signs), auditory and motor techniques to effectively teach the reading and spelling of sounds (but especially vowels within words). It has already helped thousands of students to develop effective literacy skills.
