[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes. Maybe they’ll technically catch up in reading, but what have they lost in terms of education in the meantime? Do they not need to read for various subjects in school? Does this go hand in hand with anti vax homeschoolers- people who don’t trust mainstream society but can’t be bothered to teach their kids?[/quote] There are several options. A child who can't read at grade level can use apps which will read the text to them (Learning A-Z has lexiles up to 1360, or college level reading), listen to a friend or family member read, listen to an audio book, or use text-to-speech adaptive technology that people use when they can't see well enough to read a computer screen. Reading ability doesn't correlate with learning and comprehension, except in public schools that don't offer supports.[/quote]
