[Reading-hall-of-fame] Do we agree?

[Stephen Krashen]

The problem is not “phonics” but “extensive, systematic” phonics. Do we agree with this statement? 

 

"...phonics instruction should aim to teach only the most important and regular of letter-to-sound relationships ... once the basic relationships have been taught, the best way to get children to refine and extend their knowledge of letter- sound correspondences is through repeated opportunities to read. If this position is correct, then much phonics instruction is overly subtle and probably unproductive" (Anderson, Heibert, Scott and Wilkinson, 1985, p.38).”
