points)

Vincent Van Gogh was born in Groot Zundert, in The Netherlands on March 30th

1853, to parents Theodorus Van Gogh, a preacher, and Ana Cornelia Carbentus. In 1869 at

the age of 16, Van Gogh began a career, not as a painter, but as an art dealer with the firm

Goupil & Cie. He spent 7 years at Goupil & Cie where daily contacts with works of art

kindled his appreciation of paintings and drawings. Gradually Vincent lost interest in his

work and decided to try his hand teaching at a Catholic School for boys. His growing interest

religion and his desire to help the poor eventually drove him to become a clergyman. In

1878, he became a lay preacher in one of the most impoverished regions in Western Europe:

the coal-mining district of the Borinage in Belgium. Vincent sympathized with the poverty-

stricken miners and gave away most of his food and clothing to ease their burdened lives.

His extreme commitment to the miners drew disfavor from the church, which dismissed

him of his post. Vincent, however, decided to remain with the miners and began to paint

them and their families, chronicling their harsh conditions.

Soon after, thanks to his brother’s financial help, Vincent decided to go to Brussels

in 1880 to begin studies in art. During the next 10 years, Vincent painted around 872

painting. In 1882, Vincent began living with Clasina Maria Hoornik, also known as Sien,

and her children, in the Hague. Their volatile personalities and the strain of living in

complete poverty created stormy relationship. Vincent was devoted to Sien and her children,

but art always came first. As his drawing and painting skills advanced, his relationship with

Sien deteriorated and they parted ways in September 1883.

In 1886, Vincent moved in with his brother-Theo in Paris where he met Paul Gauguin

and various other artists, who had a tremendous impact on his ongoing evolution as an artist.

Never truly happy in large cities, Vincent decided to move to Aries Province in the south of

France, where he rented a studio and invited Paul Gauguin to live with him. In December

1888, Vincent experienced a psychotic episode in which he cut off a piece of his left ear.

After his episode, he was in and out of asylums for the next year. It was thought that Van

Gogh was actually epileptic and that is why people thought he had fits of insanity throughout

his life. He painted one of his best-known painting, Starry Night, during one of his stays in

Page 10 of 18

the asylum. In mid-1890, Vincent left the asylum and spent the last few months of his life

in Auvers, France. On July 27th 1890, Vincent Van Gogh shot himself in the chest. Two

days later he died with his younger brother-Theo by his side. He left behind a wonderful

array of paintings that make him one of the most influential painters of our time.

HOW SHOULD READING BE TAUGHT?

By Keith Rayncr a Barbara R Foorman

A. Learning to speak is automatic for almost all children, but learning to read requires

elaborate instruction and conscious effort. Well aware of the difficulties, educators have

given a great deal of thought to how they can best help children learn to read. No single

method has triumphed. Indeed, heated arguments about the most appropriate form of

reading instruction continue to polarize the teaching community.

B. Three general approaches have been tried. In one, called whole-word instruction,

children learn by rote how to recognize at a glance a vocabulary of 50 to 100 words. Then

they gradually acquire other words, often through seeing them used over and over again in

the context of a story. Speakers of most languages learn the relationship between letters and

the sounds associated with them (phonemes). That is, children are taught how to use their

knowledge of the alphabet to sound out words. This procedure constitutes a second

approach to teaching reading – phonics. Many schools have adopted a different approach:

the whole-language method. The strategy here relies on the child’s experience with the

language. For example, students are offered engaging books and are encouraged to guess

the words that they do not know by considering the context of the sentence or by looking

for clues in the storyline and illustrations, rather than trying to sound them out. Many

teachers adopted the whole-language approach because of its intuitive appeal. Making

reading fun promises to keep children motivated, and learning to read depends more on

what the student does than on what the teacher does. The presumed benefits of whole-

language instruction – and the contrast to the perceived dullness of phonics – led to its

growing acceptance across American during the 1990s and a movement away from phonics.

C. However, many linguists and psychologists objected strongly to the abandonment of

phonics in American schools. Why was this so? In short, because research had clearly

Page 12 of 18

demonstrated that understanding how letters related to the component sounds in words is

critically important in reading. This conclusion rests, in part, on knowledge of how

experienced readers make sense of words on a page. Advocates of whole-language

instruction have argued forcefully that people often derive meanings directly from print

without ever determining the sound of the word. Some psychologists today accept this view,

but most believe that reading is typically a process of rapidly sounding out words mentally.

Compelling evidence for this comes from experiments which show that subjects often

confuse homophones (words that sound the same, such as rose and ‘rows). This supports

the idea that readers convert strings of letters to sounds.

D. In order to evaluate different approaches to teaching reading, a number of experiments

have been carried out, firstly with college students, then with school pupils. Investigators

trained English-speaking college students to read using unfamiliar symbols such as Arabic

letters (the phonics approach), while another group learned entire words associated with

certain strings of Arabic letters (whole-word). Then both groups were required to read a

new set of words constructed from the original characters. In general, readers who were

taught the rules of phonics could read many more new words than those trained with a

whole-word procedure. Classroom studies comparing phonics with either whole-word or

whole-language instruction are also quite illuminating. One particularly persuasive study

compared two programs used in 20 first-grade classrooms. Half the students were offered

traditional reading instruction, which included the use of phonics drills and applications.

The other half were taught using an individualized method that drew from their experiences

with languages; these children produce their own booklets of stories and developed sets of

words to be recognized (common components of the whole-language approach). This study

found that the first group scored higher at year’s end on tests of reading and comprehension.

E. If researchers are so convinced about the need for phonics instruction, why does the

debate continue? Because the controversy is enmeshed in the philosophical differences

between traditional and progressive (or new) approaches, differences that have divided

educators for years. The progressive challenge the results of laboratory tests and classroom

studies on the basis of a broad philosophical skepticism about the values of such research.

They champion student-centered learned and teacher empowerment. Sadly, they fail to

realize that these very admirable educational values are equally consistent with the teaching

of phonics.

F. If schools of education insisted that would-be reading teachers learned something about

the vast research in linguistics and psychology that bears on reading, their graduates would

Page 13 of 18

be more eager to use phonics and would be prepared to do so effectively. They could allow

their pupils to apply the principles of phonics while reading for pleasure. Using whole-

language activities to supplement phonics instruction certainly helps to make reading fun

and meaningful for children, so no one would want to see such tools discarded. Indeed,

recent work has indicated that the combination of literature-based instruction and phonics

is more powerful than either method used alone. Teachers need to strike a balance. But in

doing so, we urge them to remember that reading must be grounded in a firm understanding

of the connections between letters and sounds. Educators who deny this reality are

neglecting decades of research. They are also neglecting the needs of their students.
