[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who's this "we"? My kid is in first grade in a DCPS and is getting explicit phonics instruction, along with learning sight words (which aren't pronounced phonetically).[/quote] Not case in Arlington [/quote] and I had a SPED teacher tell me that my child would learn to spell by "being exposed to texts!" and yes, she said it with excitement. And she is wrong. I've started tutoring my child in phonics at home. I'm sure I am not a great tutor, but it's better than not learning the rules of English at all. [/quote]
