You overhear two parents talking about the different approaches to teaching reading used by the first grade teachers in your child's school
You hear one of them complaining that her child is going to be behind if she stays in a particular teacher's classroom. What are the two approaches and is there an advantage to using one over the other?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The two approaches are phonics (breaking words down to sound them out) and the whole word method (teaching the meaning of words by encouraging students to use the context of whole passages to figure it out). Phonics works best with those who are just learning to read, but for more advanced readers, a combination of both approaches is effective.
