  • Research and the Reading Wars James S
    CHAPTER 4 Research and the Reading Wars James S. Kim Controversy over the role of phonics in reading instruction has persisted for over 100 years, making the reading wars seem like an inevitable fact of American history. In the mid-nineteenth century, Horace Mann, the secre- tary of the Massachusetts Board of Education, railed against the teaching of the alphabetic code—the idea that letters represented sounds—as an imped- iment to reading for meaning. Mann excoriated the letters of the alphabet as “bloodless, ghostly apparitions,” and argued that children should first learn to read whole words) The 1886 publication of James Cattell’s pioneer- ing eye movement study showed that adults perceived words more rapidly 2 than letters, providing an ostensibly scientific basis for Mann’s assertions. In the twentieth century, state education officials like Mann have contin- ued to voice strong opinions about reading policy and practice, aiding the rapid implementation of whole language—inspired curriculum frameworks and texts during the late 1980s. And scientists like Cattell have shed light on theprocesses underlying skillful reading, contributing to a growing scientific 3 consensus that culminated in the 2000 National Reading Panel report. This chapter traces the history of the reading wars in both the political arena and the scientific community. The narrative is organized into three sections. The first offers the history of reading research in the 1950s, when the “conventional wisdom” in reading was established by acclaimed lead- ers in the field like William Gray, who encouraged teachers to instruct chil- dren how to read whole words while avoiding isolated phonics drills.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 402 547 CS 012 658 AUTHOR Matson, Barbara TITLE Whole Language or Phonics? Teachers and Researchers Find the Middle Ground Most Fertile. The Great Reading Debate. REPORT NO ISSN-8755-3716 PUB DATE Mar 96 NOTE 6p. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) Journal Articles (080) JOURNAL CIT Harvard Education Letter; v12 n2 p1-5 Mar-Apr 1996 EDRS PRICE MFO1 /PCO1 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Beginning Reading; Elementary Education; *Instructional Effectiveness; *Phonics; Politics of Education; Program Descriptions; Reading Achievement; *Reading Instruction; Theory Practice Relationship; *Whole Language Approach IDENTIFIERS California; *Educational Issues ABSTRACT The argument between advocates of the whole language approach and the phonics approach threatens to become so polarized and politicized that agreeing on a middle ground seems at times impossible, and the voices of reason and experience are drowned out. The debate erupted anew in California after alarming news stories about reading scores ranked the state's fourth graders next to last in reading proficiency among the 39 states participating--even though most informed observers agree that state-by-state comparisons of average scores mean little without taking into account the racial and economic status of the students. Critics of whole language claim that it allows some children to fall through the cracks, while the argument against phonics is that it is boring. As researchers debate the significance of the studies and test results, teachers are left hanging. Increasingly, researchers are finding better results from teachers who take a balanced approach, especially with children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Three different schools (inner-city and suburban public schools and two affiliated single-sex independent schools) in the Boston, Massachusetts area offer evidence that experienced teachers using a middle-of-the-road approach succeed in teaching beginners to read.
