The term balanced literacy was popularized in the mid-1990s to describe a middle ground in terms of text selection, instruction, skills, and strategies. The intention was to merge the promising elements of whole language and phonics. Interactions with educators and literacy leaders across the country currently suggest that a term that had been seemingly well defined 20 years ago had become more vague. This descriptive study polled 25 veteran teachers to identify commonalities among their definitions and instructional applications.

资深教师对“平衡素养”的理解

术语平衡识字是在90年代中期普及文本的选择，教学，技能和策略的术语来描述一个中间地带。其目的是合并整个语言和语音的有前途的元素。目前与全国教育工作者和扫盲领袖的互动表明，一个在 20 年前看似明确定义的术语变得更加模糊。这项描述性研究对 25 名资深教师进行了调查，以确定他们的定义和教学应用之间的共性。
