Critics Of reading instruction
in Americas schools today can
come UP with appalling docu-
mentation Of the inability Of
many students-and adults
to cope with the written word.
Probably the prize-winning
example appears in the book.

words. A child comes to school
eager to learn to read. they
say. but he quickly becomes
tired, confused and disappoint-
ed because he Is not allowed
to read until he has completed
q readiness program.
Although this procedure is
bad enough. reading instruction
completely breaks down once
the youngster is handed q book
with words in 1t, according to
the critics. Before he knows
anything about the sounds GER
tain letters have, he Is en-.
couraged to start reading"
right away to get the Big Pic
ture-the overall sense Of the
sentence or paragraph.
Perhaps later the child will
learn how to analyze and at
tack individual letters and
words. But for the time being,
he is encouraged to feel his way
along. happily guessing the
word sounds. BY the time he
does get phonics instruction, 1t
may be too late to help.
No Accepted Cure
Ironically. the critics point
out, the student has carefully
been given experiences" in the
readiness program so that he
will truly understand what he
reads. But the books, in fact,
have an infantile vocabulary,
interminably repeated, which
requires no knowledge at all to.
understand. The child, brim
full of experiences. is bored
