A Critique of Pure Teaching Methods and the Case of Synthetic Phonics examines how research into the effectiveness of teaching methods can and should relate to what takes place in the classroom. The discussion brings to light some important features of the way we classify teaching activities. The classifications are unlike those we use in natural science - for instance, how we classify drug dosages. This point has very important implications for what should be considered the appropriate relationships between educational research and classroom practice. Andrew Davis applies the results of this discussion to the teaching of early reading, focussing in particular on the approach known as synthetic phonics. He provides a philosophical investigation into the nature of reading, and into the concepts that feature in approaches to teaching it, such as the idea of building words from letter sounds, the nature of words themselves and reading for meaning. He concludes with a discussion of why this matters so much, reflecting on how stories and books can be part of a child's emerging identity within the family. He explores how values of family life should be weighed against the importance of achievements in school, and argues for the claim that school reading policies of certain kinds may have a destructive impact if they are felt to trump the private interests of children and their families.

The "Hodder Group Reading Tests 1-3" form a series of nationally standardized tests to assess pupils' reading comprehension at word, sentence and continuous text level. They are designed as wide-range tests and are especially useful in assessing large, mixed-ability groups. There are three levels of tests in the series, and two equivalent forms (A and B) are provided at each level. Each test takes 40-45 minutes to administer.;The tests use conventional multiple-choice vocabulary, sentence completion and close-procedure questions, and at each level the tests include questions which assess children's understanding of word meanings and of sentence structure. This set contains the Test 1 teacher's manual and one copy each of Test 1 forms A and B - aimed at ages 5:6 to 8:6 -, which use a multiple-choice format throughout and are objectively marked following a straightforward answer key. Standardized on over 13,000 children, the tests give norms as National Curriculum levels as well as reading quotients and reading ages.
