[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like someone must have been paying their friends for favors. I just can’t imagine anyone genuinely thinking it’s a good idea to teach kids to guess words rather than actually learn to read.[/quote] I think for some kids this is actually how they teach themselves to read. Both my kids were self taught readers who did so by whole word recognition, but they both have exceptional visual memory skills. Phonics would have infuriated them. [/quote] They still need to know how to break up unknown words especially longer multi syllabic words. Plus they need to be able to spell those longer words. [/quote]
