Yeah, I'm fairly sure he had a PhD in English, but I don't remember the
university. I guess I would consider that English teaching and education in
that era had a LOT to do with literature, a minimal amount to do with
teaching writing (and directed mostly to high school and college students),
and absolutely nothing to do with teaching kids to read.

Didn't he have a Ph.D in English. from Columbia. I don't agree with
many of the things he wrote, but he did have a degree in English.

Well, I'd agree that the book was written in that era. However, I
don't think he ever published any research at all, or did any. And
he didn't have any personal experience or education in how to teach
reading. He actually studied law and ended up as an English teacher.
His opinion was his opinion, which we're all entitled to, but his
wasn't based on experience, education, or research.

You might check out the book Why Johnny Can't Read. He has lots of
great research and wisdom on teaching students how to read and
spell. It was written at about that time. You might find the
information you need.

I learned to read in Kindergarten in 1955, using Dick and Jane.... no
phonics. Amazingly, I can still read today. Imagine that.
