“Hooked on Phonics” -- A Product Designed to Take TeachingReading Back to Basics
[ send me this paper ]
This 14 page report discusses the
reading program “Hooked on Phonics” that is used to help children
in learning to read and write. Proponents of the program believe
that it is vitally important to understand that a great number of
the children who appear to be unable to understand a concept or a
set of directions are actually having problems recognizing actual
words. As a result of having to direct their focus so carefully
and devote so much attention to slowly and carefully figuring out
the words, they focus less attention on what the text means.
Children who recognize words more readily can focus more
attention on meaning. That recognition can be enhanced through
understanding the relationship that exists between sounds and
letters in an alphabetic code. Phonics then establishes the basis
for that process of decoding words. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
