Teaching Phonics: Letter-to-Phoneme, Phoneme-to-Letter, or Both?

Groff, Patrick

Reading and Writing Quarterly: Overcoming Learning Difficulties, v17 n4 p291-306 Oct 2001

Discusses whether or not beginning readers learn phonics best through instructional approaches that teach students to sound out letters, spell words, or combine the two. Concludes that caution is in order as experimental research assessing the effectiveness of each approach has yet to be conducted. Suggests, in the interim, instruction should be influenced by existing experimental evidence. (SG)
