Zusammenfassung: | In its current incarnation, the term "science of reading" is primarily used to referto a substantial body of research showing that many children-perhaps most-are likely to experience reading difficulties unless they receive systematic instruction in phonics and other foundational reading skills in the early years of schooling. "Studies quite consistently have found decoding instruction to be advantageous," Shanahan notes in his paper "What Constitutes a Science of Reading Instruction?" Johns acknowledges that point only obliquely, remarking toward the end of the book that he is not questioning "the current consensus that a'decoding'model is the preferred basis for teaching early readers." [...]as with his omission of experimental studies of phonics instruction, Johns's failure to include any of the extensive research on reading comprehension renders his history seriously incomplete. |
