[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My older daughter was "taught to read" using this shit approach and is STILL behind and not reading well. F_ her kindergarten teacher.[/quote]

You could take part of the blame as well. It’s not all on teachers.[/quote]

I learned how to read by watching my mom read books aloud to me.  I was reading at 4 years old and going to the library every week  with my sister and checking out books.  Make reading fun, familial, and enjoyable for your kid.  They learn better that way than in a class with 29 other kids and one adult.[/quote]

Omg, it’s almost like people don’t listen to research. About 40% of kids learn to read like this, the other 60% don’t. 
Peoples brains are different, it is actually neuroscience.

I have three kids, one is dyslexic, one learned to read without an ounce of effort and the other one was right in between. It is a complex process. They all went to preschool, went to the library and were read to. The only way my dyslexic kid is reading is bc we have the money to get her out of public schools and get an appropriate education with targeted instruction. 
I could go on forever about the shortcomings of public school, lack of early identification, lack of remediation, and yes, so many teachers don’t recognize dyslexia. Some of it is the fault of education programs at the college level, some of it at the local school level. 
I don’t think the ability to read should be based on the parents income and financial resources for outside help. Our school systems are incredibly broken at this point.
