[quote=Anonymous]For people who might not know why balanced literacy is bad, just FYI, a lot of kids who aren’t explicitly taught decoding learn it anyway, maybe 70%. The problem is, of course, the other 30% who never learn how to read properly. Lots of people looked at the way good readers read, and think, oh, hey, we should teach kids to do what good readers do. But that’s like saying “expert bakers just know by instinct when something is done so we will just teach people to use their instincts to know when something is done.” When people have a skill down, they use shortcuts, like glancing at the shape of a word to know what it’s said. But that doesn’t mean shortcuts should be taught as the actual skill. [/quote]
