Closing the Gap Between Research and Practice
By: de Lemos, Marion
Published by: Australian Council for Educational Research
For some decades, world-wide, there have been national initiatives to
improve literacy rates and standards. During the same period,
concentrated research studies have been undertaken to find out how
best to achieve the desired improvements. Two main thrusts in
teaching and learning how to read and write have emerged, often in
controversy. One is generally known as the 'whole language'
approach and the other concentrates more on instruction in phonics.
What works? This paper focuses on the theoretical assumptions
underlying these two approaches to the teaching of literacy, and the
studies which have been undertaken, in the international arena, to
find out how children progress, from their earliest educational years,
in attaining both initial reading skills and lifelong literacy.
