Which cueing system deals with the visual-literature relationships used to decode words?

Graphophonic cueing focuses on the visual-letter to sound relationships that readers use to decode words. It’s all about mapping graphemes (letters or letter patterns) to their phonemes and blending those sounds to pronounce unfamiliar words, essentially the decoding process. The other cueing systems deal with meaning (semantic), sentence structure (syntactic), or social language use (pragmatic), so they aren’t about decoding words from their visual forms.
