Diacritical coding is a technique used to teach phonics and word analysis skills by marking words with visual symbols. It helps students break down syllables, identify sounds, and decode unfamiliar words with greater ease. As a trained instructor, I use diacritical coding to support students in mastering phonemic awareness and fluency.
