Whole Language vs Phonics in Learning to Read : A
9 page
research paper comparing the advantages and disadvantages
of the whole language and phonics approaches to teaching
children how to read. Whole language is the approach
whereby children experience the joy of entering the grown
up world of writing words that convey a meaning or tell a
story; phonics is the old-school rules list complete with
spelling rules, punctuation rules and spelling lists. It is also
the method which produces the highest levels of achievement.
Each method has its proponents, but nearly all will consider
only pure programs without the benefit of a combined
approach. One such combination approach is that of the
Montessori method of early childhood education.

Jane Run ? Can Phonics Be An Exclusive Method ?
NO ! : A 5 page paper discussing the current methods of
reading instruction being used in our country. The focus of
the paper is on phonics and how it is, and always will be, an
essential part of reading and the methods of learning
associated with it. Different methods are examined in order to
illustrate just how widely used phonics is in the classroom.
While phonics is an important part of learning to read it can
not be used exclusively as there are far too many aspects
involved in this particular area of education. Phonics are
essential but any teacher must keep an open mind and be
willing to use other methods in combination in order to teach
our citizens to read. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
