Do Beginners Learn Printed Words Better in Contexts or in Isolation?
Ehri, Linnea C.; Roberts, Kathleen T.
Child Development, v50 n3 p675-85 Sep 1979
First graders were taught to read words either in printed sentence contexts or printed singly on flash cards. Post-test scores indicated that context-trained children learned more about the semantic identities of printed words, while flash card-trained children could read the words faster and learned more about orthographic forms.
