[quote=Anonymous][quote]Phonics doesn’t replace all languages arts- teacher still read stories and have a language rich environment. But they don’t encourage guessing what words might be and thethat don’t expect a kids to just “get it”.[/quote] I taught first grade. I don't ever remember being encouraged by any research or program to expect kids to "just 'get it." And, as for guessing what words might be, that is a valid tool. It has never been the only tool for deciphering words. It aids in reading comprehension. It goes along with predicting what will happen next, and then reading to see if you are correct. I don't know why PP thinks teachers are not including phonics in their instruction. [/quote]
