The ageold Whole Word vs. Phonics debate raises some very important questions.
…

Because I received so many good questions and comments about my initial Reading Wars video, I wanted to post a quick followup to address some of the more common threads.

In this installment of 'From Theory To Practice', I tackle the following questions:

Do people ever read in whole words?
From where did the whole word reading theory originate from?
Where does reading comprehension fit into this discussion?
What about logographic scripts (like Mandarin Chinese) – do they follow the same rules as alphabetic scripts?

Give it a watch, and let me know what you think in the comments.

And, as always, if you find this video valuable, interesting and/or entertaining, you can support our channel by liking, sharing and subscribing ;)
