The following overview outlines PLD’s SSP sequence, progressing from single-letter phoneme-grapheme connections and digraphs to the introduction of alternative spellings in the extended code. It is essential not only to teach these phoneme-grapheme relationships in isolation but to also offer opportunities for their application in reading and writing tasks, including dictation.
Furthermore, the PLD SSP phonic teaching sequence forms the foundation for introducing High-Frequency Words (HFW’s).
