There is an excellent entry in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_phonics Also linked from there is a Canadian perspective on systematic phonics, as compared to the "whole language" or the "balanced" approach to the teaching of reading: http://www.societyforqualityeducation.org/parents/bkgrnd1.html#bettermet hod It explodes many myths: http://www.societyforqualityeducation.org/parents/bkgrnd1.html#responses Note that synthetic phonics is a version of systematic phonics, where there is a particular focus on blending. Compare analytic phonics where there is more attention to onset and rime. Cheers from Chiswick, John John Nissen Cloudworld Ltd - http://www.cloudworld.co.uk maker of the assistive reader, WordAloud.
