[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've not met a single teacher in this country who is prepared to teach children to read - only retired teachers who considered it a part of their job.

My kids are in HS so this is not a recent discovery. When each of them were in K-5 it was all about "testing" their reading, not teaching it. That was considered to be parent's work. So we did it at home, like everyone else.[/quote]
I'm having a hard time following this- so [b]teachers, who have gone through years of training and time in the classroom, aren't prepared to teach kids to read[/b], but parents with no such training or practical experience should know how to do it at home?  What curriculum should we be using?[/quote]
NP here.  As absurd as it sounds, this has been documented.

"A big part of the problem is at the university level, in schools of education, according to the authors of a 2016 article in the Journal of Childhood & Developmental Disorders. "Faculty have ignored the scientific knowledge that informs reading acquisition," the authors wrote. "As a result, the pre-service teachers who are being educated at these institutions fail to receive the necessary training."[/quote]
