        You do realize it is K-12 and then college. Public schools didn’t hurt our family. 2 doctors, one dentist, 5 with master’s degrees, environmental engineer, nurse anesthetist, and one PHD. Public schools were just fine for us.

        First of all, why would you research this in Mississippi. ranked 46th according to World News Report.. I am an educator in Mn. We are trained in phonetics, site reading, whole language strategies and more ..to use in conjunction with each other not as stand alone option.

        Teachers aren’t telling kids to “guess” based on context, but rather to use all curing systems...syntactic, graphophonic, and meaning.

        Uhhhh, yes they are. Currently marketed core curricula encourages teachers 2 tell kids to use pictures to help determine words. What's more is that running records also assess students looking at picture for clues. Graphic ⬇️shows several poor strategies taught 2 kids.pic.twitter.com/uObmFHzxMs

        Teachers know to not rely on picture clues past a certain reading level. Just because this stuff is sold, does not mean that teachers are using it.

        The reading specialist are for sure using it. My daughter has been given it year after year. And as the pictures have decreased with more text the reading struggles are increased. There’s got to be a balance

        Sorry to hear her struggles persist.The primary reason picture support decreases is because too often pics do not actually support the text as text complexity increases. For struggling readers, it's a problem, but one that needs to be addressed with intervention.

        U mean how the vast majority of us learned to read...no, kids can’t read or write or do basic math, because on the most part parents don’t care and schools can barely scratch the surface of the students teaching needs that are poorly provided scattered between social services

        Taught 1st and 2nd grade for 9 years. Phonics was the basis of my reading program. Students read aloud every day. Words which didn’t follow phonetic rules we partially sounded out and I helped with the non-phonetic sounds. Every child was a good reader when they moved on.

        Read the comments which are more accurate and balanced than the article. Teaching reading is a complex skill and cannot be ‘cured’ with a one track phonetic approach.

        True. But I would agree the current trend has such a low emphasis on phonics that my kiddo who was read to since the whom is still struggling in 5th grade. It’s frustrating when a kid with an above avg IQ struggles despite exposure to books etc. we need both

        You are right. Phonics is part of guided reading lessons where I taught and is part of the Elf Literacy program in New Brunswick. My son struggled. Phonics didn’t work for him but text to speech helped. Now a fluent reader. Individual needs for each brain. Good luck.
