Differentiate between whole-word and phonetic reading. Provide examples of times when a person might use each.

What will be an ideal response?


In phonetic reading, a person uses his or her knowledge of the individual letters (and their associated sounds) to sound out a new word. For example, reading this neuroscience textbook may often trigger this response, such as for words like oligodendrocytes. After considerable experience with a word, the brain perceives the word as a unit that is readily pronounced. In these cases, one would not need to sound out the word. Some words that commonly become read via whole-word reading would include a person's name or other basic items such as cat or dog.
