Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools.But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schoolscontinue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power ofthe "look-say" or "whole-word" method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrantexample of this failure to instruct effectively.
The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning ofletters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing theability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the self-directed, "learninghow to learn" activities recommended by advocates of "open" classrooms and with the concept thatchildren have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher putout anything but these "Run-Spot-Run" readers.
However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called "the great debate" inbeginning reading. In his best-seller Why Johnny Can't Read, Flesch indicted the nation's publicschools for miseducating students by using the look-say method. He said--and more scholarlystudies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed--that another approach to beginningreading, founded on phonics, is far superior.
Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations withsounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather thanbuilding up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which thepronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can belearned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words andsentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.
The author feels that counting on educators to teach reading correctly is________.

A.only logical and natural
B.the expected position
C.probably a mistake
D.merely effective instruction
