Description
Excerpt from A List of All the Mono-Syllables in the English Language: Phonetically Arranged for Use in Teaching Reading With Explanations
Every child before he enters school images, analyzes, judges, infers, and generalizes with great ease and rapid ity. The value of the reasoning depends utterly upon the value of the image of which judgment is the outcome. Making the ability to pronounce words the ''end and aim of reading absorbs mental action in word images, which soon becomes an over-powering habit, so that when hard, continuous study of text is demanded, the pupils have ab solutely no power of educative thinking; the words stand between them and the thought, instead of being the potent means of help. It is a fact, that a small per cent of pupils taught by the a-b-c method, or by the phonic method, owing to their innate energy and their desire to think, will learn to read and study fairly well in spite of the unnatural obstructions, whileithe mass of children never learn to study.
