[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've not met a single teacher in this country who is prepared to teach children to read - only retired teachers who considered it a part of their job.

My kids are in HS so this is not a recent discovery. When each of them were in K-5 it was all about "testing" their reading, not teaching it. That was considered to be parent's work. So we did it at home, like everyone else.[/quote]

I'm having a hard time following this- so teachers, who have gone through years of training and time in the classroom, aren't prepared to teach kids to read, but parents with no such training or practical experience should know how to do it at home?  What curriculum should we be using?

Really  its not that hard to teach your kids to read except if they have a learning disability.  Try it.[/quote]

If you're not doing this your kids pretty much out of luck since your child's teacher doesn't have time and will only meet with them two to three times per month for reading anyway[/quote]
