The problem
Why phonics assessment is broken in most schools
Spreadsheets aren't progress tracking
Recording phonics data in a spreadsheet means you're doing admin, not teaching. By the time you've entered the data, formatted it, and shared it with your literacy coordinator, the moment to intervene has already passed. Assessment Mode captures data automatically — so you can focus on the student in front of you, not the screen behind you.
Generic apps don't match our curriculum
Most phonics tools are built for the UK or US. SoundSnapp is aligned to the Australian Curriculum phonics scope and sequence — the right phonemes, in the right order, for Australian students.
American accents confuse kids
When an app says “bath” wrong, it undermines the lesson you just taught. SoundSnapp uses real Australian voices — consistent every time, whether you're on the smartboard, an iPad, or a Chromebook. What students hear in SoundSnapp matches what you model in class.

Questions & answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Phonics Screening Check in Australia?
The Phonics Screening Check is a federally supported assessment introduced in Australian schools to check that students in Year 1 have the foundational phonics skills they need. It covers both real words and pseudo-words (nonsense words) to test decoding ability. SoundSnapp's phoneme practice aligns directly to the phoneme scope assessed in the check, so regular use prepares students naturally.
Can SoundSnapp track individual student phonics progress?
Yes. Assessment Mode gives each student their own login and records every phoneme response. Teachers get a per-student dashboard showing exactly which phonemes have been mastered and which need more practice — no clipboards, no manual entry.
Is SoundSnapp aligned to the Australian Curriculum?
Yes. SoundSnapp's phoneme sets and scope and sequence are built around the Australian Curriculum's phonics framework, covering Foundation through to Year 6. It also aligns with evidence-based structured literacy approaches recommended by ACARA and state education departments.
How much does SoundSnapp cost?
Whiteboard Mode is free forever — no account required, no time limit. Assessment Mode (individual student tracking and progress dashboards) is available with a School Licence for $199 AUD per year, covering all teachers at your school.
Can teachers try it before buying?
Yes. Start a 7-day free trial with full access to Assessment Mode — no credit card required. Your school can explore every feature and run real assessments before committing to anything.
