Nurture A Reader: November 2011
http://nurtureareader.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 13, 2011. Peg Tyre on Identifying Good Schools. There is a significant disconnect between how scientists know children learn to read and how children are taught to read in school. Word to the wise: Make sure your first-grade child gets a solid dose of that old Eisenhower bad-boy phonics. Peg Tyre, NY Times Schoolbook. Nov 7, 2011. Giving their children a solid dose of phonics may well mean parents must teach it themselves; few parents are able to choose schools for their children. Peg Ty...

http://nurtureareader.blogspot.com/2012/04/ed-schools-literacy-agendas-on.html
Friday, April 6, 2012. Ed Schools "Literacy" Agendas on the Defensive. Imagine a physics program that won’t teach the theory of relativity. Or an English department that shuns Shakespeare.

Nurture A Reader: 4 Down. Circa 599,996 To Go.
http://nurtureareader.blogspot.com/2011/10/4-down-circa-599996-to-go.html
Friday, October 14, 2011. 4 Down. Circa 599,996 To Go. Lots of kindergartners here in the U.S. have begun the process of learning words as wholes. It's mid-October and many students are this far along:. The, I, am, little. The, an, away, me. Unfortunately, at best, they can only distinguish those words from each other. How far along are the students taught with Jolly Phonics. Or other synthetic phonics programs? That's a story for another post. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Jelly and Bean Decodables.
