Many reading experts have sald we should not teach a child even after he began to read at, achool, Indeed, most reading primers and first readers have only a few hundred different words and the child is supposed to learn to see and read whole words. 'It's often called the look-and-say method If the youngster is taught by the: look-and-say method, and most children are, his attention is focused on whole words, If he were familiar with and in- terested in the letters and their sounds in words his attention would be diverted from words to the letters and sounds mak ing them up, So the word method advocates say. CLAMOR CREATED But many parents and some teachers have set up such a clamor about neglecting letters and their sounds so long that the look-and-say basal reading texts are beginning to put a bit of emphasis on letters and sounds almost from the begin: ning. However, most of these basa! readers assume that lettes and sounds can and should be ig- nored till the child is in Grade 2 or 3 Knowing your child will be taught by the Jook « and - 'say method, or guessing that he will, what may you do when he is four or five years old?
