The Modelli Method: beyond phonics

The pop quiz makes it clear that speech forms the basis of language, a view shared by most linguists. Renowned authority David Crystal says, “The origins of the written language lie in the spoken language, not the other way round. ” This means in the world of language speaking reigns supreme. Despite this reality, common reading methods almost entirely ignore speech.

Modern education seems to forget that reading is merely one aspect of language, not an isolated subject. Typically, students learn to read by making the eye primary, leaving the ear to trail far behind—just the opposite of the way language is naturally acquired.
