This week’s hot topic: Phonics

There are two schools of thought on this subject. The first states that phonics is the way to go, that it’s skills and techniques have made reading skills accessible for hundreds of thousands of students around the globe, through generations. The second is that phonics should only play a cursory role in the teaching of reading and that it has no place outside the new entrant classroom.

With the publication of research this week the debate continues as to how great a role phonics should play in the teaching of reading.
