Differences in Word Recognition Based on Approach to Reading Instruction.
Wilson, Kay; Norman, Charles A.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v44 n2 p221-30 Sum 1998
Various word-recognition tasks were completed by 54 second-grade students from classrooms where reading instruction followed the whole-language approach or the phonics/skill-based approach. A task involving a cloze procedure favored the whole-language approach, but there were no other significant differences between groups. Contains 30 references. (SV)
