However, balance can mean many things. Even whole-language teachers now maintain that their approach is balanced, because, after all, they do address phonics, albeit in an ad hoc fashion. There are elements of phonics instruction, though, that cannot be diluted; it must be systematic and explicit, if the full benefit is to be derived from it. To deprive children...
