[quote=Anonymous]As a teacher who does a full phonics lesson with my class every day, I can tell you that this is not every school. Some schools subscribe to the “balanced literacy” model which focuses on exposure to different styles of texts and genres, but is supposed to be accompanied by a phonics program. I think some schools decide not to pay for the programs. Teachers can’t magic up a phonics program, as they’re highly structured and research based. They’re expensive, but very effective. Teaching phonics is the most satisfying part of the day. I work with kids with learning disabilities who really struggle to read and I’ve seen all of them make tremendous progress. [/quote]
