[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They didn't. It's a urban myth propagated by companies selling programs to "fix" dyslexia. Your school teaches phonics. [/quote] It depends. A lot of teaching prep programs pushed whole language in the 70s and 80s. Catholic schools did not remove phonics but publics and privates did. It backfired but gave rise to a lot of phonics programs that are marketed to the LD community. Mainstream privates use them but to a lesser extant for their non-LD students. Publics instituted phonics instruction in the state curriculum standards twenty years ago.[/quote]
