AbstractThe phonics is traditionally firmly established within reading acquisition in Swedish schools. The curriculum, Lpo 94 gives spacious independence regarding the question of method and we have to be aware of our own point of view when we are making the decision regarding the method of reading acquisition. Is it tradition or is it our linguistic point of view that is the determining factor? Through this study of literature, different publications from different times are being studied and the ideas and the linguistic point of view are being discussed. Through comparing between the curriculums that have been replaced of one another, and attending to linguistic discussion and research, we will be able to see a change in the linguistic point of view. Consequently we also will catch a glimpse of the psychological direction that has had an influence in our way to look upon the language in general and reading in particular. It has been seen that the teaching in reading originally comes from the behaviouristic fundamental idea of B.F. Skinner. Nowadays the teaching in reading is more based on the cognitive ideas of Noam Chomsky. Trough taking part of other peoples linguistic point of view, the opportunity gives to reflect upon the own way to look upon the language. This is a fundamental condition and of a vital importance when you are going to choose method of reading acquisition in the teaching profession.Keywords: Reading acquisition, phonics, linguistic point of view
