[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So why aren’t schools just switching to Science of Reading and calling it a day? [/quote] A big reason IMHO is that SoR methods are harder to implement and that the current crop of teachers lacks the foundational knowledge required to properly teach reading. This is a result of de-emphasizing the importance of pedagogy with these “anyone can become a teacher” programs. I also think that as schools become a primary hub for the distribution of social services, there’s been a push to make school as gentle, supportive, and non-threatening as possible while imparting a “love of learning.” Discipline and rigor are required for teaching reading, but they’re definitely not fun or easy for anyone involved. And it seems that things have tilted more in favor of joy than competence. [/quote]
