Posted by Bruce Deitrick Price on 11/12/07 Roberta, I am interested in your idea, having just had a flash this past weekned--and this after writing a great deal about phonics, whole word, etc--that the bouncing ball would be the single best way to teach reading to young children. It forces them to see syllables, which is exactly what whole word was designed to stop. It forces them to see direction, the idea of going word to word, and line to line. Having had this idea, I wondered if our educators ever used this idea in school. I'm thinking not. But I would love to hear from you if you hear about a use in the past somewhere. Isn't it amazing that here we are in 2007 and you are having this idea on your own. The idea was on TV in the 1960s. Educators sincerely interested in reading would have seen immediatelty that this idea could help. Why wasn't it used? That is the question!
