Systematic and explicit phonics instruction is a key component of effective reading instruction.

Research studies report that systematic and explicit phonics instruction significantly improves word recognition, spelling, and reading comprehension.

Johnny Can Spell, a systematic, explicit phonics program, presents the phonograms (the sound-symbol correspondences) initially in isolation but develops mastery through daily application in spelling, reading, and writing.

The Phonogram Page, a free service of Johnny Can Spell, is designed to promote phonics awareness, parent involvement, and student mastery of the 70 common phonograms of the English language.
