It’s just awful what they have done to reading.
The proof is what happened to basic reading rates with soldiers/draftees from World War I, II, and Korea. By the time Korea came around, illiteracy rates had soared to over 15 per cent. The only difference was the method of instruction had changed. Phonics works, which must be why it is no longer utilized??
Did you see that the illiteracy rate in DC is 36% now? Let’s turn over the health care system to the wizards that produced that result.
I’ve heard leftists decry Phonics teaching, especially WRT homeschooling,
because they believe the “motive” behind teaching phonics is so that children will be able to read the Bible sooner.
