| Summary: | For decades, together with his colleague and wife Yetta, Kenneth Goodman has been lionized and vilified by educators and education decision makers on both sides of the Atlantic. Kenneth Goodman was on point of the attack on whole language in The Reading Wars in the mid-1990s. Goodman’s theories are something out of the ordinary in this research field, this study examined his work over decades and the criticism he received throughout the years of working on his theories. The reading war is not yet settled, even though most scholars today favours Phonics, which has become the most popular theory, and which is most often used in studies today. Because of that I felt the need to discuss Goodman’s theories, to see what he, with his work could offer the educators of today. === <p>Godkänt datum 2021-01-17</p>
