[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very depressing to see the lifeblood being sucked out of reading in favor of PARCC scores and "science." The pendulum will surely tilt back in favor of whole language, but it sounds like it will too late for most of our kids. Comprehension is critical. Writing skills are critical. Developing a love of reading - critical. Learning buzzwords like "R Blends" are not. [/quote] Wrong, wrong, wrongedy wrong wrong. Take it from a reading specialist who makes $$$ helping kids who suffering mightily from people and systems believing the same crap as you. [/quote] +1 Also a reading specialist and Orton Gillingham certified. You have to read fluently to be able to comprehend. If you can’t decode you will not understand what you are reading. Google “Simple View of Reading.” [/quote]
