What is Systematic Synthetic
Phonics (SSP)?
Systematic Synthetic Phonics is a way of teaching children to read, write and
spell. The sounds that children learn are taught in a specific, systematic order (not
alphabetically) so that children can begin to build words from these sounds as
early as possible.
Phonics supports children to hear, identify and link the sounds that letters make
(phonemes) to what the letters look like when written down (graphemes). This
helps children to recognise and read words, using knowledge of the sounds to
read new or unfamiliar words.
