I’m shocked that this needs to be said, but: If you have a student who struggles to read, you should not blame the parents, for not reading enough. Lots of kids with dyslexia struggle to read despite having their parents read to them every day. You don’t know what happens in a kids home. Making assumptions like this is deeply offensive for the parents of kids with dyslexia. It also is a reflective of the disproven whole language model. Kids learning to read is not only a product of reading experience, for many kids it requires explicit instruction. Schools bear the primary responsibility for teaching kids to read, not parents.
🌟 My 2024 wraps up with a whopping 10 books! As a thank you to my readers, I'm GIVING AWAY THIS ENTIRE BUNDLE to one lucky winner!!! Follow me, like, and repost for a chance to win! USA only.
