Abstract | The purpose of this study was to compare the ability to pronounce synthetic words of children who learned to read by methods emphasizing early, intensive phonics instruction with the ability of children who learned to read by methods utilizing delayed and less intensive phonics instruction. The sample was selected from among second, third, and fourth graders in each of two school systems. Within school systems, ten boys and ten girls were randomly selected from each of the three grade levels. Children selected from one school system had learned to read by a program with early, intensive phonics instruction. The children selected from the other school system had learned to read by a program with delayed, less intense phonics instruction. Forty synthetic word test items were selected or constructed to illustrate ten selected phonic generalizations. The subjects' task was to pronounce each word as if it were a real word. The subjects were also presented with four synthetic words and asked to state the phonic generalization and whether the spelling pattern helped in pronounciation. The study concluded that ability to pronounce synthetic words increases with grade level, and that early intensive phonics instruction equips the child to become an independent reader at an early age.
