I don't think we'll be able to disprove what is written in the paragraph.
Avraham, I had no problem reading your mixed up sentence either. English is
not a phonetic language. For anyone to read efficiently it is essential for
him or her to master sight reading and a global approach to comprehension.
Nevertheless, phonics are extremely important in beginning reading. It has
been proven that 70% of all people learn to read regardless of which approach
is used when they learn to read. I don't have the source handy beause it has
been quite a few years since I've done academic work in the field of reading
acquisition. The other 30% need an approach that fits their learning style
etc. If a mixed approach is used, a teacher is more likely to cover that 30%.
We should stop arguing about which approach is better and start mastering the
theories, philosophy and methodology of both approaches to best serve our
pupils needs.
