systematic phonics

Systematic phonics is an organized approach to teaching reading that focuses on the relationship between sounds (phonemes) and their written symbols (graphemes). It involves sequentially introducing and practicing specific sound-letter correspondences, starting with fundamental ones and progressing to more complex patterns. This method helps learners decode unfamiliar words by sounding them out, building a strong phonetic foundation. Systematic phonics is research-based and supports reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension by making the process of linking sounds and letters explicit and structured.
