[quote=Anonymous]One of the Logic of English PPs. Here's another short and strong case for phonics: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/03/opinion/kids-reading-spelling.html Yes, some kids will pick up reading just by exposure (I was one). Yes, Kindergarten is too academic and love of stories should be one of the most important aspects of reading. But research shows a substantial group of kids will struggle without explicit phonics instruction, especially given increasing academic expectations. If school does not provide a sufficient basis in phonics and/or uses guessing/sight word approaches that will confuse kids without phonics, you will give your child a gift by helping them at home. There are so many different curriculums and ways to do this, and you can make it fun and short while still giving them a foundation for reading and spelling that will help them enjoy school and learning.[/quote]
