[quote=Anonymous]When I was in school (a looooong time ago), we were taught strictly phonics in 1st grade. The only comprehension was when our teacher read aloud to us after recess. She would turn the lights off and we had to put our heads on our desks while she read us a chapter book. Every once in a while, she would ask us a question but not too often. If not enough time is spent teaching students the basics of fluent decoding, the comprehension piece with be a moot point. If a student can't decode with accuracy and fluency, they won't be able to comprehend what they are reading anyway. [/quote]
