From the " render to the basics" to  "multiliteracies", all of these movements accept lay huge premium on teaching reading skills alongside each 1 of them viewing it from a unlike angel. Traditional didactic literacy pedagogies , every bit Kalantzis together with Cope argued inward their wonderful book "Literacies",  drew heavily on synthetic approach to learning to read.  This approach stresses the importance of learning to read the written give-and-take alongside audio -letter correspondences, or the ways inward which the sounds of speaking are transcribed inward alphabetical writing.

Somewhere along the agency students also learn...the connections betwixt spelling rules ( such every bit having a long vowel earlier a unmarried consonant -later- together with a curt vowel earlier a double consonant -latter- ) together with punctuation.
