Why Johnny Can't Read
Chapter l0-Eyewtness Report
BY FIESCH
Chapter l0-Eyewitness Report
By RUDOLF FLEsCH

Of st Joseph. (In all Of these
eight schools the experiment
with the Bloomfield system is
in operation.)
I visited a first grade. a second
grade. a third grade and a sixth
grade. The difference between
what saw there and what had
seen the day before at Argo was
striking. The atmosphere was
considerably more formal; there
was a good deal of old-fashioned.
unashamed drill; the pace
seemed ten times slower.
In the first grade the children,
one by one. went through exer-
cises embodying the loud Spell
fng-out Of words; in the second
grade they did long, patient drill
work on sufixes-the kind of
work that most public school
children do in fourth grade, If
at all.
In the third grade Father
Stoga asked to have some fourth
grade science and social studies
texts brought in, and called on
the children at random to read
aloud.
Read With Understanding
They read f1uently and with
full understanding. When they
came across word they hadn't
seen before, they instantly and
automatically read it according
to phonetic rules. One such word,
I remember, was the word ath-
letics. It took that third-grade
boy a little while to pronounce
1t right; but as soon as he did
SO. he knew what he had read.
In the sixth grade we had
seventh and eighth grade text
books brought in, which. the
students opened at random and
read for us. One was a science
text and the girl who read it
stumbled over the word molec-
ular, which of course she had
never seen before. She accented
1t. with perfect phonetic sense,
on the first syllable. Later she
came across the word capillaries.
Without hesitation she read that
unknown word off the page, pro-
nouncing it "capillaries." Mil
lions of sixth-graders across the
country would be utterly unable
to- read that word.
Father Stoga filled me in on
some details-the kind of de-
tails I was expecting by now. It
is normal" for pupils in st.

schools where the Bloomfield
method is used) to be one year
ahead of the national norm in

think it proves conclusively three

be. on the average. one grade
higher than the national norm.
2. If you teach reading with
