About us
Synthetic Phonics Ltd was formed in 2005 and has been at the forefront of the provision of teaching and training material for synthetic phonics since that time.
Marlynne Grant is the author of the systematic synthetic phonics programme Sound Discovery®, validated by the Department for Education in April 2022. Jackie Day has written decodable stories, texts and other materials to support the programme. Marlynne and Jackie have trained in the programme both locally and nationally, including under the English Hubs Training initiative. They have worked collaboratively on an electronic version of their training and produced a set of phonics videos, each of which ends with a decodable story. Here are their biographies.
