Description
Two different and opposite kinds of readers are developed at the very beginning stages of reading instruction as the result of different and opposite kinds of teaching. One kind of reader is taught to read by the "sound" of print and reads automatically and with great accuracy. The other kind of reader is taught to read by the "meaning" of print, as Chinese characters are read, and not only reads inaccurately, but is actually encouraged to do so by so-called "psycholinguistic guessing." The Born Yesterday World of the Reading Experts reviews some of the recent papers by highly recognized "experts." It explains why little beginning readers are critically harmed when they taught to read by the "meaning" method outlined by these "experts." Such "experts" seem to know nothing about the history of reading, and little about the very nature of reading itself.
