@lifelonglit Put them in the library. Encourage the kids to go to the library for those books and so much more. They can choose them if they want to, or read more challenging books if they like.

@RaviniaReading @DuncombeKirsten @Spell2Read @LinguisticsGirl @LaurenLiteracy @PosieAk @KenSheck @debbiehepp @reading_league Bowers and Bowers use theory, speculation and quantitative “research” to support their assumptions. Nothing new here. Same old, same old balanced literacy. To bad it has had such widespread support.

@RaviniaReading @DuncombeKirsten @Spell2Read @LinguisticsGirl @LaurenLiteracy @PosieAk @KenSheck @debbiehepp @reading_league Hope springs eternal. 50 years of such hope is doomed to failure. Reading science studies from reputable scientists who rely on quantitative research have proven that. It is no longer a war but settled fact.

But it has to be acknowledged that the data for our proposal is limited.”

Phonics benefits all children when content-rich and pitched appropriately. Why wouldn't teachers teach systematically the most complex alphabetic code in the world, the skills of decoding and encoding - and building up knowledge of spelling word banks?

You mean my linguist friends??

[NRRF @phonicsnmore]

It would be helpful if you could identify linguists don't. Thanks!!

[NRRF @phonicsnmore]

I have been studying reading instruction for a half century. I know scores of linguists. All of them accept that it is a code.

[NRRF @phonicsnmore]

not a "code?"

[NRRF @phonicsnmore]

Of course it is. Otherwise we would still be communicating with hieroglyphics. Would you mind naming the linguists who say that the al...

[NRRF @phonicsnmore]

@RaviniaReading @debbiehepp You do accept that the alphabet is a code don’t you?
Learning the alphabetic code is foundational to writing a good composition isn’t it? Perhaps I am entering a conversation where I don’t have the background. By the way I agree with you that writing/composition is not a code.

[Debbie Hepplewhite MBE FRSA @debbiehepp]

Even disregarding international research findings, why would any rational, caring adult undermine the explicit, systematic teaching of the most complex alphabetic code in the world and the skills of decoding (reading) and encoding (spelling)? Mystifying.

[Debbie Hepplewhite MBE FRSA @debbiehepp]

It is a school's duty to TEACH children the most complex alphabetic code in the world systematically and explicitly - and to TEACH children, all of them, to read and spell as well as possible - to fulfil their potential. We must not point fingers at parents.
