Learning to Read: The Great Debate 20 Years Later--A Response to "Debunking the Great Phonics Myth."
Chall, Jeanne S.
Phi Delta Kappan, v70 n7 p521-38 Mar 1989
Criticizes Marie Carbo's article, "Debunking the Great Phonics Myth" (in Kappan's November 1988 issue), for waging a relentless debate against phonics and falsely attributing low U.S. reading achievement scores to a phonics emphasis. Clears up confusions and inaccuracies in Carbo's article concerning first and second editions of the author's book, "The Great Debate." Includes an appendix and 138 references. (MLH)
