The people promoting sight words are trying to damage the kids.//.

I have a very good friend who tells me this teaching technique kept him from being able to read very well.

That it was why he had never read the Bible.

I told him if he asked God with an honest heart God would heal this sight word wound and help him read the Bible.

It worked , cuz God is faithful.

He now reads as fast and as well as I do.

( Praise God from whom all blessings flow.! )

Not a surprise at all.
Jerry Pournelle, the science fiction author and ‘inventor’ of Star Wars missile defense, had a lot to say about this. His wife taught ‘dyslexic’ kids to read using phonics and abandoning the whole word method and accomplished wonders.
