This study analyzed the traits, a view point of literacy development, and instructional practices of approaches to young children's literacy education. The analysis was based on Code Emphasis Approach, Whole Language Approach and Balanced Approach. Each approach has many advantages and weak points and there is no one right way because one program could not satisfy every children's needs. The important points to note are that whole language must be accepted as beliefs and philosophy of literacy education as well as all language arts, and that we need to consider balanced approach as a alternative strategy in phonics teaching for young children.
