- Phonics vs Whole Word
- systematic teaching of letter (graphemic) and phonemic correspondences. moves from simple (d=/d/) to complex ('gh'= /if/ in rough)
- ADVANDAGES
- learn all phonemes
- learn how written words are built and spelt
- DISADVANTAGES
- long process
- english spelling system very complex
- exposure to written text with heavy pictorial support. learns to identify shapes of words without breaking down into phonemes.
- ADVANTAGES
- allows child to develop using contextual/ textual clues to assist reading.
- DISADVANTAGES
- is spelling caught or taught?
- no real learning system
- Essex school study 1996: childrens reading age 6/7 months ahead of those not using phonics approach.
