[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-alpha-reading-literacy-crisis-privilege-society-divide-2024-12 It's not the pandemic (although that didn't help). It's screens, tablets and phones. Gen Alpha is not learning to read, and the ones who are good readers still are not very good readers and shy away from longer or complex texts. [/quote] That’s not what the article concludes—it was mostly about the way to teach reading and the fact that we need to have evidence-based teaching methods (i.e. phonics). I’m glad I sent my DD to a preschool that actually taught phonics. She is a voracious reader of physical books in upper elementary. And yes, she gets screen time.[/quote] Did your DD go to a Montessori school? [/quote]
