[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Phonics is valuable and essential in teaching kids to read. But, if that is the only tool a teacher uses it would be like an art teacher who doesn't let the kids use anything but crayons and drawing paper. It can be done--but it is limiting on results.[/quote] Learning to decode with automaticity is a fundamental basic of reading. Is is not meant to be the end result! It is like a violin teacher who makes sure her students know how to play the notes correctly and easily, before attempting to play a sonata.[/quote]
