The text compares how each approach isolates different factors in learning to read, emphasizing letter-level information versus meaning-based reading units. It explains how alphabetic instruction uses letter names and spelling, while phonic instruction teaches letter sounds and blending. Whole-word/sentence methods focus on meaning from the start.

Such a chart has been included on page 11.  \nProbably though it is important to stress that the variousmethods are not diametrically opposed.They tend to besimply different ways of looking at the reading process.  \nThe alphabetic and phonic methods concentrate on the importanceof information about the letters which make up the words to beread.The alphabetic method uses the names of the letters(c =see;  d =dee,etc.)and words are spelled out.In thephonic method,the sounds of the letters are taught(eithersingly as in Kur-ah-ter:cat,or with a helper vowel kur-teh:ca-t,or kur-at:c-at)and 'blended'together to form the word.  \nThe whole word or sentence methods concentrate on reading formeaning from the beginning,using either the word or the sentenceas the unit of meaning.   For this reason these methods aresometimes referred to as 'global!methods,in comparison withthe methods concentrating on the importance of letter information.  \nThese various methods are different ways of studying the readingprocess and try to isolate one factor at a time for closerattention.  I sometimes quote in this connection the story toldby the lecturer in Zen philosophy,who used to begin his lecturesby drawing a large circle on the blackboard,and asking hisstudents to tell him what they thought it might be.MostWestern students would suggest a ball or an orange,few everthought of the shape as a window or an opening.    The lecturerused to say that in the West,people were more likely to beconditioned to see shapes as objects against space,whereas itwas equally valid to consider the space itself and how itdefined the shape.   In relation to the reading process,if weconcentrate on the letters -their unique shape and orientation,their position in the sequence of letters making a word -it isdifficult to hold in mind at the same time,the abstract natureof the word -its meanings and its associations based on ourpersonal experiences.  \nBut this is gradually what we do.We learn to absorb andcombine both types of information.  \n1.The look and sound of the word -its unique sound andprinted structure;  -what Goodman calls grapho-phonemicinformation(word shape,familiar letter sound associations,recurrent and anticipated spelling patterns)·  \n2.The linguistic information -the likelihood of that  \nparticular word appearing in that position in the sentence.A letter shape and its corresponding sound can trigger offpossible words,but it is the linguistic clues whichconfirm the rightness of the guess.    This informationincludes the knowledge of language structure(syntax),  \ne.g.a,the,this,alert the reader to the possibility ofa noun,or adjective and noun.   When the reader has anidea of what sort of word it is,he still must check which  \nis the appropriate and specific word(semantics).   the-----ba¹1.
