SSP Screening and Suggested Tick and Flick Sheets for Monitoring Progress

Terminology
Letters do not ‘make’ sounds. Letters, or a combination of letters, are used to
represent speech sounds.
When showing the student Part 1 (code recognition) instead explain;
These all represent speech sounds – so when we look at ‘a’ (letter name) we know
it can be a picture of the speech sound ‘a’ (sound in the middle of cat)
What speech sound, or speech sounds, do you think of when you see these?
Do not limit the student. If they know that ‘s’ can represent more than one speech
sound then let them share this knowledge. (s sugar). If they give a correct answer for
‘c’ as the same speech sound (cent) then note this, and ask if there are any other
speech sounds it could represent. As the test currently stands a student may get an
incorrect ‘mark’ if they say ‘ssss’ when they look at ‘c’. Keep the questions open ended.

Point to sound pics, the child says which speech sound/s associated. They are given this sheet,
although you can point. When they start to struggle, ask if they can see any more they know.
Circle for correct choice. Add number if more than one correct choice given.
If unsure if this is correct, ask them to give you an example (eg if they say ‘sh’ when looking
at ‘s’ ask them for an example. ‘sugar’ is correct. ‘fish’ is not.
Notes:

Spoken speech sounds (approx 1 second between speech sounds)
s /a/t ch/i/p/s h/ou/se h/a/pp/y s/t/o/p
Do not show the child this sheet. You are saying the speech sounds orally. Circle if they say the word
correctly, or make a note/ comment – eg chips – ‘kips’ – so you know what they did.

can be long and complex.
