[quote=Anonymous] Teaching to read is a "harmful practice"? You sound so dreadfully ignorant, OP. Teaching phonics is never harmful. There are specific guidelines for teachers to guide young children through the pre-reading steps in an age-appropriate fashion. First, no child can ever be forced to learn how to read. It either clicks or it doesn't. Usually it clicks at 5 or 6 and all the work prior to that is preparation. Second, it's never too early to expose children to phonics, which is the base of any good reading program. [/quote]
