[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So a strong background in decoding skills in grade K-2 will greatly help students be able to master the reading standards by the end of grade 3. They will not need to use valuable mental energy on remembering words by sight and will have mental energy left over for remember what they read. THis will help them get through the text more quickly, and they will be able to skim quickly when they need to, to locate facts that support their opinions (a requirement of Common Core at Grade three -- be able to support your opinion with details from the text.)

This just might be the most ignorant statement I have read on this thread.  You obviously have never taken a class in the teaching of reading or taught hundreds of kids to read.  [/quote]

In fact, I am a certified elementary school teacher with years of experience teaching reading (working with very poor children who do not speak English) and also a professional reading tutor.  I have successfully remediated many students who have been diagnosed with dyslexia or severe phonological processing difficulties.

Strong decoding skills is the basis for reading fluency, which is the basis for being able to read and comprehend.   Here is a basic article on the subject if you wish to read up on it.
