Thomas, Dorothy M. 1990. "Why the `Gudschinsky' method?" Notes on Literacy. Interest level: general.

The "Gudschinsky method" has been criticized a lot, but it covers most of the bases. Have always given lip service to the principle that the method for teaching reading should suit the particular language, as well as the local learning style. Gudschinsky articulated the different kinds of problems in learning to read and presented methods to reach each of them.

Margaret Bendor-Samuel responded to the negative evaluation of the Sudan Gudschinsky-type primers. "The evaluation will have served us well if it drives us to reconsider the Gudschinsky method. Where it really serves us well, let us take heart and make adaptations as needed. Where it would be better to fit into a different approach because of the context of the program, let us be creative."
