[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "Mississippi Miracle" was partly achieved by embracing phonics education. 15 to 20% of children have some form of dyslexia. Phonics works for them, and it also works well for non-dyslexia kids.[/quote] Phonics takes care of the first part of reading- decoding. Once kids can decode, their prior knowledge of the topic they are reading about determines their understanding. Kids in poverty tend not to do well on standardized reading tests due to their limited vocabulary and experiences. [/quote]
