[quote=Anonymous]No but the way reading is taught in elementary is by sight words now when phonics based instruction is best. Too many teachers aren’t teaching reading the right way. When they get to high school where I am, it’s often too late. The reading specialist can help a bit but kids by then are reluctant readers at best or can’t comprehend what they read at worst. A lot of remediation is done at that level to help them take and retake SOLs or Work Keys with a hope of passing. When elementary level goes back to phonics based instruction it will help. I have a lot of kids this year who took the 9th grade Iready diagnostic and are at 3rd, 4th, 5th grade reading level. Middle school, frankly, is useless. I have no earthly idea what they do or learn there because the things kids get to high school with unaddressed floor me. [/quote]
