[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long left MCPS, but had a child go through 8th grade. I remember very clearly his Kindergarten orientation, where my son read a few pages to the teacher from a book. The teacher was intrigued and I told her the phonics based method I used to teach him. The teacher then proceeded to tell me, that's not the way to teach reading anymore...we don't teach phonics. Was so glad I had the foresight to do it myself.[/quote] Yes, not every kid learns that way. In fact, for me, phonics just slowed me down. Forcing it on me wasn't helpful.[/quote] Yeah my kid prefers to look at the pictures to figure out a word than have to sound it out.[/quote] And what happens if there isn’t a relevant picture?[/quote] My kid just treated everything as a sight word, and it worked out fine.
