[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He doesn't need phonics. That's for early reading. He is past that point.[/quote] It depends on the school and child. Many kids taught using the (now widely discredited) Lucy Calkins "Readers Workshop" curriculum and related Balanced Literacy / Whole Language approaches discover around 4th grade that they really are NOT good readers -- because they did not get enough Phonics earlier on. Also, knowing the standard Phonics combinations helps with spelling because DC will know all of the building-blocks underneath the spelling of many words.[/quote]
