Q8. What is part-to-whole learning?
A: If you like to follow a set of instructions that someone
else has written, you are probably a part-to-whole learner.
If you need to know what the end product is going to be, and
you need to know where each part or piece fits before you
are comfortable with it, then you probably are a whole-to-part
learner.
In reading, the part-to-whole or linear-sequential learner
is very comfortable with phonetic decoding where first you
learn sounds of letters, then you piece the letters together
to make the words.
Dyslexics can't learn by segmenting words into pieces. They
need to have the context and the whole picture in mind. They
are frustrated and lost with phonetic decoding because they
need to have meaning FIRST, and then employ what they know
about language and words to fill in the gaps.
