When people argue about teaching reading, there is often a confusion about the goal. Using contextual cues to infer the meaning of a word is fine if the goal is to understand just that piece of text. But if the goal is to improve ability to read other texts, it's probably not.

@PamelaSnow2 I call this poor teaching 'the whole language approach', and I will not allow this misnomer to misrepresent the balance involved in literacy learning.

@lifelonglit thank you for sharing, we all feel your loss and understand your grief for Chloe

@PamelaSnow2 @rpondiscio Early years teachers who have not had the benefit of learning based on the SVR often have fixed views of a binary choice and many have phonics phobia. These are the barriers we continue to address in professional learning around the PSC in SA.

This great piece sums up why the 2020 PSC professional learning in SA is Reading; phonics and beyond - no war just the right teaching pedagogy and content

@PamelaSnow2 I hope you enjoyed your 'dress up' day. Great to be back in schools!
I agree about the comfy, it's been a delight to provide phonics professional learning this year in my ugg boots and wrapped in a nana rug!

The PSC 2020 is underway, typical feedback: "Thank you for a great online PD! Very insightful and has cleared up a lot of gaps that I had and it also made me feel confident that I am teaching it correctly for my students in Year 1 :)"
Two courses 'Intro' or 'Beyond' via PLINK

@klbutler65 Mastery is my new favourite pedagogy. Focus on the deep learning of number until it is automatic, Less rote times tables and more logical number facts and practise to the point of automaticity.
