Systematic phonics

Systematic phonics is an umbrella term used to describe phonics approaches that are taught explicitly and in a structured, systematic manner. They are called systematic because they involve teaching and practicing a planned, sequential set of phonic elements. Specifically, the letter-sound relations are taught in a "prespecified" sequence, as opposed to incidentally or on a "when needed" basis.

In addition to being explicit and structured, systematic phonics is often accompanied by instruction that is cumulative, multisensory, and supported by diagnostics.
