The heart of Linguistic Phonics

• A systematic programme that teaches children the sounds we use in the English Language

• Focuses on sounds which are heard in a spoken word and that those sounds are represented by a symbol.

• Linguistic Phonics does not teach letter names• Children have to break the code- they are

problem solving and discovering the answers for themselves.
