READING. I.
By William Noctling.
J. G. Fitch, an English writer on
education and teaching, in speaking
of teaching trie Declining j of reading,
gays : " One of the first difficulties
with which we are confronted U the
fact that our language presents so
many orthographical and ' phonetic
anomalies. In this respect it differs
notably from trench, in which there
are comparatively few, from Germany
in winch there are lewer, and from
Italian, in which there are scarcely
any. we an Know tti-t ours is a com
posite speech, a conglomerate of many
languages: that portion of it which
was spoken before it was written
the purely English portion and the
earlier derivatives from Latin and
from Norman French is full of
queer and capricious spelling. One
of the first dilliculties to be surmount
ed is our anomalous alphabet. It
would be easy to show that it has
every fault that an alphabet can have.
A perfect alphabet should, it mav
well be urged, have a sing'e and fixed
character for every single and indivisi
ble elementary souni'. It should have
such compound characters for com
posite or diphthongal sounds as would
indicate clearly the elements of which
they are comtjosed. It should also
have similar characters for analogous
... . .. ... . .
or related sounds, iNotninsz is easier
than to lay down these conditions.
and to see that our alphabet violates
every one of thatn. It is at the same
time redundan and defective. It has
not enough characters, and those
which it has it does not make the best
of."
Teachers of English must take the
language as they find it and discover
devices for brnlgingover its anoma
lies. A number of methods for teaching
the beginnings of reading has from
time to time been devised, but all of
tnem may be divided into two classes,
arbitiary and philosophical, or syn
thetic and analytic. The order in
which theywill be presented -in these
articles is as nearly as possible that in
which they were published.
The Alphabetic. This ancient
method, of which Dr. Stanley Hall
says, Just when or by whom the
school device of telling off the inde
pendent names of letters as a key to
the spoken word (or spelling) was hit
upon, is unknown. Of course, d o g
really spells deogee, and not dog, any
more than delta, omicron, gamma,
does. Arbitrary in itself, spelling has
naturally associated itself with harsh
methods of teaching. An old poem
tells of a teacher and a pupil who un
dertook to settle the spelling of a
wo'd by a fight, in which the teacher
was killed ; and a Greek comedian,
Kallias, wrote a letter tragedy. Yet
the method had almost universal cur
rency, despite much opposition and
ridicule, down to the Reformation,
and in most non-Teutonic lands still
maintains its supremacy."
A leading English writer on
methods of teaching reading says of
the a b-c method : " It is true that
the dullest teacher can build up every
word, regular or irregular, out of
siigle letters, and teach children to
read, but at what an expense of wasted
time and intelligence 1 Eveiy word,
which should be learned by the ,eye
more than by the ear, is presented to
the ear by a series of sounds, which
contradict the resulting sounds. The
greatest proof of a child's faith in its
teacher is the touching confidence
with which it declares its belief that
'double u aitch-i see-aitch'spells witch,
or rather ' wi ( t ) ch ? "
More than thirty years ago, Dr. Al
fred Holbrook said, in Normal
Methods of Teaching, "The common
or a-b c method of teaching the alpha
bet is as serious an obstacle as can
well be devised, in the way of the
child, to hinder his progress and ren
der instruction repulsive ; yet millions
have lived through it in spile of all
the horrors of the passage. Ar
ter the child has learned to call the
twenty six shapeless characters by
their meaningless names, he is worse
off than before, so far as use is con
cerned. These names only mislead
him as to the true power of the letters,
and are constantly in his way in find
ing out the sounds of any of them in
any of their combinations."
Nearly fifty years ago, Horace
Mann, after visiting the schools of
Germany, said in his report to the
Massachusetts Board of Education,
concerning the alphabetic method :
"If the child Is bright, the time which
patses while he recites is the only part
f the day when he does not think.
Not a single faculty of the mind is
occupied except that of imitating
sounds ; and even the number of
. these imitations amounts only to
twenty-six. A parrot or an idiot
could do the same thing."
Dr. Stanley Hall says, "This
.niethod was forbidden by law in
Prussia in 1S72, and several other
Slates have since followed."
This primitive method of teaching
pronunciation (not reading) notwith
standing its objectionable features,
which have long been recognized, in
Us day, when no better was known,
served a good purpose. The-majority
of the present adult population in all
English speaking countries was taught
oy this method. But its day has pass
ed and the device should years ago
have been quietly shelved among
autiqiiitics. It belongs to the period
when the multiplication table was
memorized, problems solved by rules,
rules applied w parsing, and sentences
diagrammed.
It is useless to contend that pro
nunciation cannot be taught by this
method ; for it has too long proved its
claim. It is not however, as many
suppose, by the names of the letters
that the pronunciation of words is dis
covered, but by the unconscious asso
ciation of sounds or powers with the
letters.
Violating well recognized principles
of psychology and pedagogics, this
method has been discarded by all
competent teachers. Since it requires
no special intelligence or preparation
to follow it, it is here and ihere still
used both by incompetent and by lazy
teachers, who prefer an easygoing,
treadmill process, unconscious of its
baneful effects upon the children's
minds.
