[quote=Anonymous]PP, I teach, upper levels, and prefer the whole language approach to learning words. I don't really like phonics, as it doesn't teach the word, just sounds. For instance, cat would be spelled as KAT. laugh would be LAF. My oldest knew how to correctly spell words in K, and the teacher would tell her to write it out phonetically. I finally got involved and ask the teacher to not make DC write phonetically, as I had taught DC via the whole language concept. As for supplementing, of course you will. Most parents do such to reinforce what was taught in the class and to introduce new ideas. School is what your child and you make of it. If you want it to be better, run for school board and make real change. Good luck![/quote]
