Words in Colour is a synthetic phonics system that uses colour to indicate the phonetic properties of letters.[3] The system has been adapted for the use of deaf children,[4] and for dyslexic children.[3] Words in Colour was one of a number of colour assisted schemes, being followed by Colour Story Reading, Colour Phonics System and English Colour Code.[5]
