Letters to the Editor...
Reading Scores
Hi Kathleen :o) Wouldn't it be soooo..... easy if one could just teach phonics and be done with it? (But what about those poor children who cannot learn phonetically??) The sight word list in first grade is unbelievable-- there would be so many words in "jail" because they broke the rule--the jailed words could fill one wall! Have you ever saw a young child try to sound out the word "t-h-e"? They become so frustrated. A balance of both is needed in the classroom. I prefer the second article: http://www.teachers.net/gazette/MAR02/letter 004.html Thanks for pointing it out to us! Cindy Helms/OH
