[quote=Anonymous][quote]And teachers could do more in their own classrooms to support all students and give them a better foundation in phonics which would help dyslexic students far more than the current practices. It is possible for teachers to weave this in throughout the day. Also, actually requiring reading in all subject every day would mean that students get far more practice in reading than they do now. Instead of replying back here, why not take some time and give a critical look at what you do each day in the classroom and how you might change things ....

How can teachers do this without proper training either in college or from their districts, to teach these foundational skills? With what materials? Teachers need to be taught how to weave this in throughout the day.  Districts need to commit to SOR practices.  Colleges of Education need to teach science-based pedagogy. Teachers aren't curriculum developers. That's not our job.  If you want us to teach something you need to train us to do it.  I went through one of the top schools of ed in the country. My TEXTBOOK for reading instruction class was by Fountas and Pinnell. I was taught to teach in a way that was ineffective.

Also, a big "thank you" for questioning that I should be spending my personal time "giving a critical look at what I do in the classroom" instead of spending time on this forum.  How about you do that in regards to your parenting skills.  [/quote]
