Despite the technical differences it has been through, the method which has been included and applied in the curricula for the longest period of time is the sentence method. While the first literacy teaching was conducted with the sentence method since the 1968 primary education curriculum, the Ministry of National Education performed the pilot application of the new primary education curriculum in the 2004-2005 academic year and put it into effect throughout the country in the 2005-2006 academic year. The sound-based sentence method which is very different from the sentence method began to be employed in the relevant 2005 Primary Education Curriculum. The aim of the study is to determine the success of the sentence method and the sound-based sentence method in the first literacy teaching in line with the application steps of the method and to identify the positive and negative aspects related to the method generally in practice and in the application steps of the method in particular. The population of the study is the primary school teachers performing the literacy teaching with the sentence method and the sound-based sentence method, and the sample is 332 primary school teachers who participated in the study and carry out literacy teaching with the sentence method and sound-based sentence method in different processes.
