[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not an educator so l don’t feel qualified to reply to this. As a parent who had a kid who was slow to read though, l really wish the US would dial it back. Seems like kids are expected to learn everything a year earlier than when l was a kid. Finland starts teaching kids to read at 7 and they have the best public education outcomes in the world. [/quote] Finnish is a much easier language to learn in terms of reading and writing. About a year or so if instruction is all you need. Not so with English. [/quote] Yes, was coming to say this. English has a much deeper orthography.[/quote] I think English has an outdated orthography that makes it overly difficult to learn to read and write. There is no good reason for not reforming the spelling system, at least not any that are as important as making learning to read and write easier. [/quote]
