Summary |
No single debate in Australian primary education has recurred as often, caused as much angst or been politicised so keenly as that related to the teaching of reading - and, more specifically, the merits or disadvantages of using so-called 'whole language' versus 'phonics' methods to help children learn to read. This very timely book will prove a useful tool for teachers and parents of primary children struggling to understand the issues and history behind this often bitter debate and the complexities that exist around learning to be literate in the 21st century |
