However, Vygotsky's primary interest was the relationship between language and thought. He suggested that language was a natural, universal skill, acquired early through social interaction and integral to logical thought. Literacy, in Vygotsky's opinion, was quite different. Vygotsky viewed reading and writing as an "artificial" skill, which children may not value or easily absorb. These opinions differ from the current tendency among some educational theorists to assume that language and literacy are acquired in similar fashion (see, for example, http://www.centerx.gseis.ucla.edu/x/com/quarterly/winter97/step.htm

Resources - Discussion Papers Understanding Phonics and its role in Literacy Education Marie T Emmitt, Deakin University, a paper presented at Australian Literacy Educators' Seminars, Tasmania, September-October 1998 Introduction Literacy education is, by definition, always a social and political matter, tied up with the distribution of power, knowledge and competence in increasingly complex and difficult economic and cultural conditions. (Luke, 1998, p.31 1). In this paper, I want to cover some of the areas of confusion and misconception that surrounds phonics and phonics teaching, and in particular to highlight some of the complexities of phonic knowledge. There is confusion both about the use of the term and the relevance of phonics to literacy education. In particular, there is confusion in understanding and using terms such as phonics, phonemics, phonemic awareness and phonetics. In addition I have concerns about the teaching of phonics. My concern is not that some teachers do not believe in the teaching of phonics, but rather that some do not possess sufficient explicit knowledge of the relationship between English speech sounds and letters in words. Therefore, many teachers cannot provide the most appropriate instruction in phonics and instead, give their students misinformation. This is

READING MODELS (Note: These abstracts were taken from the Kentucky Department of Education's "Results Based Practices Showcase: 1997-98." The concept behind that event was to feature instruction that has made a significant impact on student achievement. KDE accepted for review only those content based classroom practices that delivered 20% or greater improvement over 2-3 years of implementation.) The reading models that follow are not intended to be a comprehensive list, but rather a small sample that meet the criteria for reliable, replicable, and research-based models. We will be adding to this list as we find other models that also meet these criteria. Many strategies that will work are NOT a packaged program. BASIC SKILL BUILDERS Program Description Basic Skill Builders is a K-12 program based on the premise that in order for students to transfer, generalize, and demonstrate higher level skill, they must first have a solid foundation of "core skills." It offers an alternative to traditional approaches (e.g., whole language, discovery method, etc.) by providing classroom procedures that include: Setting clear and high expectations Providing sequenced curricula Practicing through one-minute timings Measuring student progress in a direct and daily basis This model is designed to supplement, not supplant the core curriculum. The idea can be implemented across content areas to support and reinforce whatever is taught.

In support of the Bush administration’s injecting phonemics and phonics into Headstart and other national reading programs, an official of the National Institute of Health (fortunately he did not come from one of these awful schools of education, like most in our school district) discussed and answered questions about the following: • The backwardness in teacher training programs in availing the scientific evidence that has piled up over the years with respect to reading; how sounds, grammar, the arrangement of grammatical structures, vocabulary, idioms and figures of speech are used for comprehension; and the development of brain cells in the areas of language. • An understanding of how the written language has to be mentally put back into the spoken language of the child.

Phonemics is more than phonics. I don’t know where the enlightenment is coming from, but the Bush administration is as right as rain in realizing that sounds - - far more than our 26 letter alphabet would suggest - - are the bases of all languages and are reflected in writing which we read. Nobody in our school administration has ever understood the idea so basic to reading skills. Hence the ineffective instruction in reading. Many people have worked zealously with Headstart over the years have taken umbrage at this stress on language and reading, which, they believe, short changes other efforts of Headstart to deal with the social and mental developments of children. These two groups should not quarrel over the pillows, for they are in the same bed. They are both right. This district has no education leadership of either camp. The only concern is PR.

Eight teaching reading methods are described in this guide, four of which I have personally developed: The COPY-WRITE TheSeussSaurus , the Imagic Reading ,and the HEAR-SAY methods. See details about the COPY-WRITE READING KIT. 79 pages Read excerpt below Please note: This guide can be purchased separately or as part of the COPY-WRITE READING KIT. From the author Imagic Reading is about the Imagic Reading Program - a collection of eight teaching reading methods based upon a sensory-motor approach. This reading program is different from any other reading program used today because it is simple for the child and it is easy for parents and teachers to implement. It is a compilation of unique and effective reading methods. The reader does not have to learn a system to help "decode" the English language. The approach is simple, it is about the child and his world, it provides repetition, challenge, variety and, most importantly, it is fun. Several of the methods described are experiential, and thus are suitable for the Montessori method of teaching.

Maryland Discoveries Planet Maryland State of the Arts e Maryland ... archive May 22, 2000 Teaching reading to kids . . . FACTS How to best teach your kids to read: Read to kids a lot and a variety of stories and styles as early as birth. Pick stories they like, help them understand the content. Teach them to associate sounds with letters (phonemic awareness). Teach them that what they hear is made of smaller sounds. Let your children read to you too. Teach them many words to develop a rich vocabulary. 'The reading wars are over' announces Education Secretary Richard Riley after a scientific panel completed a two year evaluation of the best way to teach children how to read well. The panel found merit in both the phonics and whole language methods of teaching. Although the matter is a highly-politicized controversy, some of the nation's leading scientists and educators concluded about teaching this basic skill. Doctor Reid Lyon, Chief of Child Development and Behavior branch National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, recommends teaching phonemics and "using different strategies at different stages". He insists "that kids need to understand that what they hear is made of smaller sounds" and that parents and teachers need to apply phonemics before kids even learn to read. (Phonemic awareness, is the identification sounds and associating them with letters). Doctor Donald Langenberg, Chair, National Reading Panel and chancellor, University System of Maryland says "the report will be disseminated and hopefully will affect the way teachers teach kids and the way they are taught in college themselves." He hopes to see change in curricula but expects it to be slow. Dr. Lyon foresees some resistance in colleges and public schools but finds the study quite revolutionary and innovative. The study has proven that "across all socioeconomic levels, all ethnicities, all neighborhoods in the US, children learned more effectively when they learned letters-sounds and sounds first," says Dr. Lyon.

Literacy Across Cultures February 1998 1/2 Key Concepts in FL Literacy: Phonemic Awareness Charles Jannuzi Fukui University, Japan Introduction In this third key concept article for LAC , I will look more closely at a term that is being discussed a lot in the literacy field: phonemic awareness . The perceived importance of this concept, in part, seems to arise because linguistic and psycholinguistic insights have long been a concern in literacy research and pedagogy. Linguistic insights, too, have played a significant role in ELT and TESOL, such as the prestigious, usually university-based areas of research and intellectual endeavor known as Applied Linguistics (AL) and Second Language Acquisition (SLA). However, phonemic awareness both the term and the concepts it might denotedoes not seem to be covered very deeply in the discourses of AL and SLA. The state of the art: SLA I consulted Ellis's (1994) monumental work on SLA, The Study of Second Language Acquisition , only to find that for the purposes of this key concept article, the term does not exist in the sort of SLA research and analysis that so often guides theory and practice in ELT/TESOL. We see this in actual workaday ELT/TESOL when both academics (such as teacher trainers) and classroom teachers dismiss phonology as "pronunciation practice", the main purpose of which is trivially to reduce or "fix" accents. Or they prioritize it out of existence, leaving it off already crowded syllabuses. The closest conceptualization of something that approaches the term "phonemic awareness" that I could find in the SLA literature is Ard (1989), who argues for a constructivist approach in accounting for L2 interlanguage phonology. He writes:

Table of Contents FLL home page LAC main page JALT home page Literacy Across Cultures September 1998 2/2 A Key Concept Revisited: Phonemic Awareness Charles Jannuzi Fukui University Fukui, Japan Introduction One of my motives in writing the Key Concept article on phonemic awareness in the February, 1998 issue of Literacy Across Cultures (Jannuzi, 1998, pp. 7-12) was to point out just how neglected such important issues often are in mainstream applied linguistics (AL), second language acquisition (SLA) studies, and theoretical, university-based ELT. (AL and SLA are the two prestige fields of academic inquiry most said to underlie ELT theoretically and provide its empirical research base; they are almost always university-based.) By discussing what was mostly a concept from the discourse of native literacy, I hoped to raise consciousness and foster reflective debate in the discourse of ELT. I am glad Brett Reynolds took exception enough with my piece to provide us with his own thought-provoking contribution about the topic. I also realize that it is true of much writing in academic ELT and education that one is often cited in someone else's paper only so that the citing author can disagree with or at least complicate the work cited. We often seek to affirm the validity of our own views through the selective interpretation, negation, invalidation, and forced revision of the views of others. Still, I must admit that my first article, being preliminary, was sometimes tentative and even sketchy in its synthesis, and also that I sometimes struggled for clarity in my attempts to reconcile literacy and ELT conceptions of things. Therefore, I welcome Reynolds' criticisms and corrections.
