[quote=Anonymous]Here it is short and sweet: Phonics should be only a very small part of the learning to read process. Incorporation of the study of phonics should be extinguished as the child moves from the reading stage to the transitional reading stage. Phonics should not be taught forever because parts of the process actually slow down fluency. Because fluency leads to better comprehension, it is best to remove barriers to fluency. Note that there are a few ardent supporters of phonics in DCUM land and they are people who don't understand the learning to read process. I think they want phonics taught up through fifth or sixth grade, which is absolutely ridiculous.[/quote]
