CODY FOR SCHOOLS
Cody Spell helps children explore, practise and remember the spellings they are learning at school.
Designed to complement your school’s existing curriculum, phonics provision and intervention programmes.
FLEXIBLE CLASSROOM PRACTICE
Focused practice using the words you are teaching.
Create targeted spelling activities from current curriculum content, weekly lists or individual learning priorities.
Provide supported practice
Combine word and sentence audio, colour-coded phonics support, typing and handwriting.
Review outcomes
Use completion, scores and word-level results to inform subsequent teaching and practice.
Suitable for whole-class, small-group and targeted individual practice.
FROM LIST TO FOCUSED PRACTICE
Explore each word in greater depth.
For a word such as necessary, Cody brings pronunciation, phonics support, typed and handwritten practice together in one focused activity.

A COMPLEMENTARY ROLE
Personalised support at the point of need.
Structured literacy programmes provide a planned instructional sequence. Cody complements that provision by helping pupils apply their learning to current classroom vocabulary.
| Area | Cody | Structured literacy programmes |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Current vocabulary and identified spelling priorities. | Progression through a planned literacy sequence. |
| Starting point | A teacher-selected list or a word requiring further practice. | An assessment, learning pathway or defined curriculum. |
| Content | Created or selected by the teacher to reflect current teaching. | Primarily determined by the programme’s scope and sequence. |
| Role in school | Provides targeted practice alongside existing teaching and intervention. | Provides the teaching or intervention programme itself. |
Programme features and approaches vary. Cody is intended to complement, rather than replace, structured literacy teaching.
