Reaction Statements to Phonics Section
Recent research demonstrates that in classrooms where phonics is taught in the context of rereading favorite stories, songs, and poems, children develop and use phonics knowledge better than in classrooms where skills are taught in isolation. Similarly, phonics knowledge is developed by encouraging and helping emergent writers to spell by writing appropriate letters for the sounds they hear in words.
This first point seems to be addressed at the value of teaching phonics intrinsically rather then systemically in isolation. ... With such enjoyment often comes an economical development of phonics knowledge. According to one study, isolated phonics instruction is not worth the time and effort that is used to teach it. ... Although children often unconsciously use phonics rules while reading from stories, they are unable to remember the terms and rules in an abstract fashion. Due to the fact that the children in the study were not conscious of the phonemic rules they used and could not verbalize such rules, the study concluded that the time spent on learning phonics in isolation could be better spent on reading. ...
Once again, this statement lends support to what research has shown to be true about the appropriateness of using literature over phonics in isolation to teach reading skills.
