Used by Australian teachers in NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA and beyond
Scope & sequence
Every phonics phase, Foundation to Year 6
SoundSnapp is structured around the Australian Curriculum v9.0 phonics component — covering all phoneme-grapheme correspondences in the order students are expected to learn them.
Single consonants, short vowels, simple CVC words (cat, dog, sit). Students build left-to-right decoding habits.
Blends (bl, st, tr), digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh), and simple vowel combinations. Decoding becomes more automatic.
Long vowel patterns (ai, ee, oa), split digraph (a-e, i-e), and common endings. Reading fluency accelerates.
Multi-syllabic words, silent letters, uncommon vowel patterns, and morpheme awareness. Deeper word knowledge.
Built on systematic synthetic phonics
SoundSnapp follows the evidence-based systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) approach recommended by ACARA and state education departments — explicit, sequential, and cumulative.
- All consonant phoneme-grapheme correspondences
- All vowel phoneme-grapheme correspondences
- Phoneme blending and segmentation practice
- Pseudo-word decoding (Phonics Screening Check ready)
- Multi-syllabic word patterns (Year 3–6)

Approach
Real Australian voices
No American accents. Ever.
Australian vowels are different. When a phonics app says “bath” or “dance” with an American accent, it actively undermines what you've just modelled. SoundSnapp uses an ElevenLabs Australian voice — the same voice, every time, on every device.
AU vowels differ from US vowels
Words like 'bath', 'dance', 'castle' and 'ant' sound different in Australian English. Consistent AU audio means phonics instruction sounds like your classroom, not a foreign TV show.
Consistent audio on every device
Whether you're on a smartboard, iPad, Chromebook, or laptop — students hear the same Australian voice. No device-dependent variation, no surprises.
ElevenLabs AU voice, always on
SoundSnapp uses a single high-quality ElevenLabs Australian voice for all audio. Teachers don't configure it; it just works the same way every session.
