[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mississippi has shown the way. Direct instruction using tried and true methods with clear science (example: Phonics), avoid fads (whole language, balanced literacy, and other Lucy Calkins crap). Teach kids he material directly, do not think they will learn by osmosis.[/quote] Um. Phonics is a fad. [/quote] Not even close to true. Numerous large studies with good controls show that it works reliably for all students. Dyslexic students would benefit from a particular Phonics implementation, that is known as Orton-Gillingham.
