    This article discusses the two main types of phonics instruction: explicit instruction and systematic instruction. Explicit instruction involves direct teaching of phonics rules and sounds, while systematic instruction introduces letter sounds in a planned sequence. The author concludes that the goal of phonics is to help students understand the relationship between sounds and letters. An effective approach may integrate aspects of both explicit and systematic instruction to meet the needs of all students.

    Villaume, S. K., & Brabham, E. G. (2003). Phonics instruction: Beyond the


    debate. The Reading Teacher, 56(5), 478-482.

    CENTRAL THEME:
    This article presented information about the two types of phonics instruction. All
    students develop the alphabetic principle, whether or not this is done best using explicit
    instruction or systematic instruction was discussed. Different activities and materials
    were presented as well as how different teachers might use this knowledge to help their
    students learn to read better.
    MAIN IDEAS:
    1. Explicit instruction is a fully developed and clearly expressed set of instructions that
    teachers use to teach phonics. Scripted/Explicit instruction is beneficial in some uses
    especially for newer teachers, although this style of instructions in phonics is both
    important to new and older teachers. Research has confirmed that the expertise of a
    teacher is more significant in a student’s reading progress than the method of teaching.
    When decoding, direct explicit instruction has given children more control of the
    apathetical principle as well as learning new words. Explicit instruction fosters active
    learning and high engagement of thinking for students.
    2. Systematic instruction is a method used to teach phonics, it is orderly and has steps. If
    using systematic approach, teachers in a school need to map out a progression of when to
    teach the letter sounds in the curriculum guide to ensure that all students are progressing
    the same. Many teachers who use systematic instruction use activities that are designed
    to engage student and introduce a new letter sound. This type of instruction is important
    to effective phonic instruction and some teachers have noticed how some students can
    link phonemes to reading and sounding out words when using this type of instruction.
    AUTHORS’ CONCLUSION:
    Goal of phonics instruction is to help student develop the alphabetic principle. If
    student understand the alphabetic principle, then they understand sounds of spoken words
    are mapped onto written words in systematic ways. Phonics instruction is essential for
    reading. The challenge is about which type of instruction to use. As the article states: If
    we “embrace a broader band of purposes for phonics instruction, we are compelled to
    develop greater expertise for integrating aspects of direct and embedded instruction in
    ways that benefit all students.” The bottom line is that as teachers we need to find the
    best method to teach students as well as always learning ourselves.
    EVALUATION:
    I found this article to be very informative. Not knowing much about phonics or
    the concept behind it, I had not idea that there were two main styles of phonics
    instruction. This article was not only informative but started me to think about learning
    styles in general and whether or not if some children learn better using explicit learning
    or systematic learning. Over all I thought reading this article to be incredibly helpful,
    something that I can reference back to during my teaching career.
