Analytical phonics-an approach associated with the teaching of reading in which the phonemes associated with particular graphemes are not pronounced in isolation. Children identify (analyse) the common phoneme in a set of words in which each word contains the phoneme under study.

There are hundreds of spelling alternatives that can be used to represent the 44 English phonemes. Only the. most common sound / letter relationships need to be taught explicitly. The 44 English sounds can be divided into two major categories â consonants and vowels.
