Synthetic Phonics
• teaches letter/s-sound correspondences at a quick pace
• immediately teaches how to blend the sounds for reading
• c-a-t is cat, b-u-s is bus, s-t-o-p is stop
• teaches phonemic awareness
• teaches main digraphs (letter combinations) – for blending and
segmenting
• teaches irregular keywords (tricky words) – blending them but noting the
regular and irregular/unusual parts
• uses decodable texts initially – free choice of books when there is fluency
• blending is the first and main strategy for reading unknown words
