Should phonetic methods be employed in the teaching of primary reading? The answer to this question can be given only when the purposes for teaching primary reading have been agreed upon. If the basic purpose in the teaching of primary reading is the establishment of skills measured in this study (namely: independence in word recognition, ability to work out the sounds of new words, efficiency in word pronunciation, accuracy in oral reading, certain abilities in silent reading, and the ability to recognize a large vocabulary of written words), the investigations would support a policy of large amounts of phonic training. If, on the other hand, the purposes of teaching primary reading are concerned with “joy in reading,” “social experience,” “the pursuit of interests,” etc., the investigations reported offer no data as to the usefulness of phonetic training.
