[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. My DC told me in 1st grade that "Good readers look at the pictures." Uh what? Good readers look at the letters/words. [/quote] Sure, but why not use other resources such as the pictures? If I read a word as “bag” instead of “box” in a sentence, and it doesn’t match the picture, why wouldn’t I use that picture and switch my reading to “box”? We can still work on the word but the picture helps me make the correction. [/quote] Because if you see “box” on the page and come up with “bag”, that’s a sign that you actually can’t read, and [b]need help seeing the letters and connecting those letters to the sounds that they make. [/b] It’s a huge red flag that you need help learning to read. [/quote] Who is saying the teacher wouldn’t still do this? Why does it have to be one or the other?[/quote]
