Phono-graphix

Last updated

Phono-graphix, a phonetics program, is a method for teaching and re-mediating reading and spelling developed in 1993 by the Read America clinic in Florida. It takes the sounds of the English language and teaches the various "sound-pictures" (letters and combinations of letters) that represent those sounds. [1]

Along with its use in the United States, it has also been used in Southern Africa since 2000 through Read for Africa. [2]
