Phonics--One Important Piece of the Pie: A Holistic Perspective.

Thistlethwaite, Linda L.

Adult Basic Education, v4 n1 p19-34 Spr 1994

Phonics and other word analysis activities need to be placed in perspective. An effective approach is for readers first to read the whole text, then participate in teacher-directed and learner-independent word analysis, and then return to reading words in a holistic context to establish comprehension.
