[quote=Anonymous]Well in our public K all they teach is inventive spelling as well, but not too much phonics, just sight words and very simple phonics. Phonics is way more important in my mind for SPELLING and learning new words than learning sight words. Typically phonics books have some sight words in them anyways and most Montessori schools have some sight word work as well. I've never understood the benefit of spending a lot of time learning sight words. As soon as you understand phonics, there are much less sight words to learn and as soon as you start reading regularly, you learn those words through the books you are reading.[/quote]
