[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow I didn’t know if I just read to my kid that they would magically learn to read.

Stop being moronic- this is not how it works.especially if your kid is dyslexic [/quote]
Dude.. this is exactly how it works for the overwhelming majority of kids! Yes, dyslexic kids and other kids with LD's will need professional help from school that parents can't do, but that is not the norm. Seriously, stop being lazy and read and talk to your kid during their first few and most important years of life! No teacher and no school will parent your kids for you; even if they wanted to and they were the best in the world at it, they couldn't possibly do it at a 20/1 ratio![/quote]

No, it’s not how the majority of kids learn to read. I am a school psychologist and see everyday the devastating results of administrators and teachers promoting this idea. Most kids need direct instruction and practice in sounding out words in order to read well.  Most do NOT learn just by being read to, not by looking at picture clues, not by memorizing some sight words and reading books with a repeated pattern so guessing words works.[/quote]
