WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Remember the Juror over
Rudolf Flesch's why Johnny
Can't Read? 1t was indeed a
lively controversy, stirred up by
DR.. FleSch's charge that a whole
generation of American chill
dren had suffered from the at
tempt Of educators to teach
them to read whole words be-
fore they learned the alphabet
and the sounds each letter rep
resented, So bitter were defend
ers of sight reading" that their
attacks upon Flesch set some
sort Of high-water mark for
rancorous expression.
But the Juror has now
quieted. The "phonics" method
which Fesch advocated and
which had been universally
used before 1880 was quietly re-
introduced into even the most
progressive" of school districts.
For the most part, American
schools today are using a COM
bination of sight" and "phon-
les" methods-and the outlook
for improvement in the reading
abilities Of American youth was
never better. Rudolf Flesch
has earned our gratitude for To-
cusing attention on a serious
problem.
That's not to say that all Of
Flesch's proposals for reform
were valid His suggestion that
we revert to a strictly phonic

ing" (Whiteside Press, N. "
two qualified reading special
lists, Romalda and walter
Spalding, present what may
well be the best integrated
method for the teaching Of
reading.
The Spalding method or, as
they call it, the United Phonics
Method combines Of speaking,
spelling, writing and reading
into one integrated method.
While the technique is prima-
rily designed for classroom use,
1T is so simply presented that
parents can readily adapt its
exercises to start their children
on the road to reading before
their formal schooling begins.
The new Spalding book will
not arouse parents and enrage
professional educators as did
Flesch's broadside, but 1t seems
to this observer to offer both
parents and teachers an admir-
able aid to the speedy solution
Of Americas educational d.
lemma-the reading problem.
