SynPhony is an open-source project that will assist in teaching literacy skills for alphabetic writing systems. It is a database system designed to systematically present the patterns of a language and track a user's progress as they acquire reading skills. There are four main components to SynPhony: linguistic, pedagogic, user knowledge base, and reports. Although English is the first language being targeted, the structure and methods used will be suitable for many other languages as well.
