Are the reading wars over?
What are some of the different strategies for teaching reading?
Some common strategies include phonics, whole language, balanced literacy, and structured literacy. Phonics focuses on teaching children the sounds of individual letters and how to blend those sounds together to read words. Whole language, on the other hand, emphasizes meaning and context over the individual sounds of words. Balanced literacy seeks to combine elements of both phonics and whole language, while structured literacy is a more comprehensive approach that includes teaching phonology, syntax, and semantics.
