Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Sound out letters, then blend
1. Synthetic phonics, also called blended phonics, starts with the parts.
2. Learners sound out the letters or letter groups.
3. They then blend the sounds to form the word.
4. Guessing from context, sight memorising and word families are other approaches.
**Why not the others:** Guessing from context and sight memorising are whole-word methods, and word families belong to analogy phonics.
