Teaching Our Children to Read: The Role of Skills in a Comprehensive Reading Program

Abstract

One of the major concerns in education is the number of children who have a low comprehension of what they read. Many approaches have been adopted over the decades in an attempt to redress this situation - including phonics, discrete skill training and whole language - largely without success. Recent research indicates, however, that the most effective solution combines all three of these approaches. Bill Honig makes a strong case for a balanced approach to teaching reading in nursery school and primary school, and provides a step-by-step guide to the reading skills that should be introduced and mastered in each grade.
