Mapping the Code is LALI’s own phonics programme. Jennifer developed it for children who need phonics taught at a slower pace, particularly children with dyslexia, ADHD and other learning differences.
Many schools teach phonics quickly to the whole class. Some children need more time. Mapping the Code gives them that time.
Who developed it
Jennifer Ee is a qualified primary and ESL teacher and a Sounds-Write Qualified Practitioner, with over 12 years in private practice. She built Mapping the Code from years of teaching children who struggle to read and spell.
How it works
• Children learn that letters stand for sounds.
• Each sound in a word is mapped to its spelling, so reading and spelling grow together.
• New spellings are introduced one step at a time, with plenty of practice before moving on.
• Every lesson is one-on-one, so the pace matches your child.
Who it helps
• Children who have fallen behind in whole-class phonics.
• Children with dyslexia, ADHD, language difficulties or other learning differences.
• Students from Pre-Primary to Year 6.
Mapping the Code eBooks
The LALI Phonics eBooks grew out of Mapping the Code. Families and schools use them for extra practice at home or in class.

Mapping the Code is a phonics programme developed by Jennifer Ee at LALI Services in Perth. It teaches children that letters stand for sounds, and shows them how to map each sound in a word to its spelling. Reading and spelling are learnt together.
It is for children from Pre-Primary to Year 6 who need more time to learn to read and spell. This includes children with dyslexia, ADHD, language difficulties and other learning differences, and children who have fallen behind in whole-class phonics.
Many schools teach phonics quickly to the whole class. Mapping the Code slows the pace down, introduces one new spelling at a time and gives plenty of practice before moving on. At LALI, every lesson is one-on-one, so the pace matches your child.
No. Your child does not need a diagnosis. If you are unsure where your child is at, a LALI literacy assessment shows which sounds and spellings they already know and where to start.
