Pip Mice work through specific spelling patterns according to the ‘Letters and Sounds: Principles and Practice of High Quality Phonics’ DfES document. Each Pip mouse contains and reinforces Bear Words (for reading), as taken from the ‘Letters and Sounds’ high frequency list containing 300 words. Therefore each Pip supports a Bear and visa versa.

Pip the mouse specifically supports the teaching sequence and assessment of SPELLING patterns through specific phoneme/grapheme groups and word families.
