The best way to teach your child to read
What’s the best way to teach a child to read?
This is a hotly debated topic – especially when the debate revolves around phonics and phonemic awareness vs whole language method of learning to read. I can tell you decisively right now that phonics and phonemic awareness are far better methods for teaching children to read than the whole language method. Thousands of studies have proven this fact, and even the National Reading Panel (NRP), has made a statement regarding this, where they stated:
- Teaching children to manipulate phonemes in words was highly effective under various teaching conditions with various learners across a range of grade and age levels. Teaching phonemic awareness in children significantly improves their reading more than instruction that lacks any attention to phonemic awareness.
- There are literally thousands of studies done on this topic. In fact, relating to the statement made by NRP, they reviewed over 1,960 studies before making the above statement. There can be no doubt that phonics and phonemic awareness-based teaching systems are the most effective.
