Talk:Analytic phonics

[Untitled]
This article confuses two distinct terms: systematic phonics instruction and explicit phonics instruction.

This is not good because the topic of phonics instruction has a history of controversy.

Didn't phonics instruction become part of mainstream practice as a response to Whole Language instruction? That controversy lasted for years and was heated.

Now here, the confusion of terms leads the writer to say that analytical phonics instruction is a type of whole word instruction.

A possible correction would be to say that analytic phonics is explicit but not systematic phonics instruction...that would be consistent with the rest of the article...

Or possibly not systematic in a particular sense....

Another worry with this article is that it suggests that there are only two options for teaching phonics. Actually, it's a young enough field that we can't know what illumination practice will yield within the next decade, assuming English spelling is not reformed in that time....

Possibly the problem is that synthetic phonics has been adopted as a label by practitioners of a particular method, while the term analytic phonics seems to be a generalization about various alternative methods....

....ok I get it - the sources cited themselves are confusing. It looks like phonics teaching is fast evolving....

I hope someone within this field will fix this up, thanks....Serene bioggio (talk) 11:56, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Changed name to Analytic phonics
Hi folks. I changed the name because analytic phonics is the the accepted name in most places and has been so for many years. Here are some examples: https://www.nichd.nih.gov/sites/default/files/publications/pubs/nrp/Documents/report.pdf Page 2-89. https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20100512233640/http://publications.teachernet.gov.uk/eOrderingDownload/0201-2006PDF-EN-01.pdf Page 19. And I found many more current uses.John (talk) 12:07, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Removed IPA
In my view, IPA is not necessary in this article. Most readers will understand English pronunciation, and teachers and tutors do not use IPA with students.John (talk) 12:32, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
