Perhaps politics are constraining. I'm all the way over here in the US. Please quote me if you need a bad guy..<br /> <br />For one thing, I don't think Reading Recovery is well-intentioned. Perhaps the opposite. And saying that the teachers are not trained is not very satisfying. Why aren't they trained? Because Progressive Education means never having to say you're wrong or even a little bit sorry.<br /><br /> This article was originally titled "Rudolf Flesch's Big Mistake." The editors at the site said that no one would know who Flesch is!?!? So the name was changed to "Whatever happened to phonics?" In any case, my intent was to use the 60th anniversary of his famous book to talk about phonics. http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/01/whatever_happened_to_phonics.html<br /><br />Here's the Facebook page that mentioned your article:<br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/485092851547783/permalink/831731466883918/<br /> Please say I told you so.<br /><br />Best,<br />Bruce Deitrick PriceBruce Deitrick Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881671487606709421noreply@blogger.com
