Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The authors suggest that a combination of holistic and skills-based decoding approaches is the most effective method of teaching reading. This approach combines the whole language approach, which emphasizes the meaning and context of language, with decoding-based emphases, which emphasize the skills and strategies required to decode words. Direct instruction may be helpful for certain reading skills, but by itself may not be as effective as the combination approach.
