Its the other 70% - a clear majority - that do need explicit instruction using proper methods - Science of Reading.

It’s easy to learn how to read. It’s not as easy for students to comprehend what they’re reading.

This is not universally true.

The other poster had the correct statistics. 70% of students need explicit phonics instruction to learn to read.

My daughter is dyslexic. She has zero problem with comprehension. It’s the mechanics of reading that are challenging for her.

DP here.
Why are you so self righteous? Sorry that not all of us have experience raising kids. How would we know unless someone tells us or we learn the hard way?

With my first kid, I read to her a lot, but I left the learning to read process to her kindergarten teacher. My second child turned 5 a few months into the shutdown. I worked with her everyday with Bob books and then Dr. Seuss… and then she began reading some of her picture books back to me. It was a very satisfying process. She is a much more enthusiastic reader than my older daughter… but that could be unrelated to the reading lessons.

Same for my dyslexic child.

Yeah, that’s not true. Any teacher believing that needs decent PD and common sense.

I have 3 kids. 2 of my 3 kids learned easily from school and just picked it up. My oldest kid was a very late reader and required a reading tutor and lots of effort from us parents. Younger two siblings just started reading (preschool and kindergarten) on their own.

Of course. Never wait for the “experts” to do a parents job. Parents are the primary educators of their children.

Both my kids learned before k. My son’s Montessori school was a little intense but I guess it’s paying off now. I do read a lot to my kids but just because I enjoy it.

Yes that's why we had only 30% literacy rate before Science of Reading was invented.

Right?

Right?

Kindergarten did a lot of work and so did we at home. We spent a lot of time reinforcing it during the school year and continuing their growth over the summer.

Sure, but where exactly is the evidence that reading in kindergarten is better than first grade?

Exactly. Many children who learn to read at a young age struggle with comprehension because they understand the pattern between letters and sounds but aren’t attaching meaning to the words they are reading.

The study just says explicit and systematic instruction not a specific curriculum.
