When you teach sight words instead of phonics, that’s the result. We’ve been doing it for 50 years or so, but the geniuses that run the education bureaucracies can’t figure out the problem.
Don't gimmee no "I know so many professionals" crap.
I heard an NPR story the other day. It was revolutionary! The teachers were actually trying to teach the students to recognize the sounds that the letters make in order to sound out the words.
Wow.
They never used the word “phonics,” but that’s how we learned to read.
Duh.
