[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lord, every parent listened to that podcast and now deems themself a reading specialist. [/quote]

Agree! It’s comical. They’ve “done their own research” and now are experts.[/quote]

Sadly the parents who’ve listened to the Sold a Story podcast are more educated than most curriculum decision makers.

-OG tutor who does know the research and cleans up damage from poorly-informed schools[/quote]

OP again - what is this podcast?? Not familiar but would be interested[/quote]

Emily Hanford’s work is quite good.  This series is a bit sensational, but it does show the rot in popular curriculum publishers.

It seems like most DCPS are trying to follow the research on the “science of reading” in K-2. Preschool literacy supporting activities are also important and these are things like hearing books and learning rhyming songs and finger play. Hand and finger strength and coordination are also key, this is achieved through play with stuff like clay and scissors.

None of this teaching has to be boring. It can all be playful and fun, even phonics. But it depends on the skill and delivery of the teacher. Unfortunately most teacher preparation programs don’t do a good job with this content yet.
