Maryland PTA
Debates Pupil
Reading Issue

BALTIMORE, Nov. II Rl.
The now familiar question.
I"Why can't my child read bet-
Iter?n came up again at the
current meeting Of the Mary
land Congress Of Parents and
Teachers.
The trend of the discussion at
a panel meeting on curriculum
found most parents fayoring the
Iphonics method, in which a
child learns a word by the sound
Iof its letters. over sight reading.
in which he learns the word as
a unit, not a combination Of
letters.
Educators tended to defend
present methods and insisted
that the schools have never giv-
len UP phonics entirely. They
said reading problems are not
the result of the system, but
arise in the individual. whether
lit be teacher or pupil.
Willis White, a high school SUI
Ipervisor, put the pro-phonics
parents on the defensive soon
latter the question arose. How
many parents, he asked, learned
their reading the phonics way?
Individual Problem
Everybody had. but one parent
Imuttered that the sight-method
learners were mot here. They
can't read"
DR.. Lillian c. Compton, former
president Of Frostburg state
Teachers College, referring to
the subject as an Individual
problem. said:
1T can't be sized up ON phon-
les. Reading is complicated.
There are many different APP
lproaches. ] doubt II many schools
ever did away entirely with
Ipnonics. No good teacher ever
did"
Mr.. White agreed. Il don't
know Of any system where they
don't use the phonetic approach
and another approach" she said.
i"If a school system is using one
method only, 1t won't accomp-
lish what we want 1t to-"
Change in Standards
He cited another problem. A
quarter of a century ago, he re-
called. If a youngster could not
Tread he did not get out of the
| first grade. Now that same
lyoungster would be carried
Through.
Mrs Geneva E. Flickinger,
supervisor Of special education.
said some children never learn
to read by any method beyond
the fourth grade level-and they
never reach that level until
they're Is.
One parent contended the
trouble lay in the teacher not
insisting on perfection. but let
ting faulty work stand without
comment, Replied Or. Comp
ton:
IF you were a teacher, I'd like
ito see you teach perfection In q
classroom with 40 pupils"
