[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Balanced Literacy is not identical to Science of Reading, nor is it even very close to Science of Reading. Science of Reading puts Phonics front and center, not as a supplement, to name one difference. SoR does have much more than Phonics, that part IS true. [b]The key is that SoR is based on actual scientific data - controlled experiments about what actually works[/b].[/quote] Balanced literacy is closer to SoR than either is to Whole Language. Prove me wrong. What worries me is language like the above. Let me make my popcorn and watch everyone run to the 'scientific data controlled experiments on what actually works' LOL LOL LOL. That right there is exactly what everyone did when they took up Lucy and Fountas and Pinnell, reading zealotry. I have nothing against SoR, but I hope the people who uptake it keep the child in the center of instruction, rather than over emphasizing grandiose 'scientific' claims. Education by way of Steve Jobs.[/quote]
