[quote=Anonymous]Here's a great summary of all the different ways lack of decoding skills will cause students to make reading accuracy errors: http://www.righttrackreading.com/errors.html In my opinion, it is an over-reliance on teaching words by sight that leads to kids not learning to decode. I'd say between 20 and 25% of the students in most schools I've worked lack fully proficient decoding skills. Possibly more... and it will show in their spelling if it isn't immediately apparent in their reading. Smart kids can struggle through a text using "scan and guess" strategies all the way through 5th grade and then might fall apart in middle school, thinking they "aren't good at reading".[/quote]
