...It’s Time to Get on Board with the Reading Science!
Here is the link to the Phonics Debate and various responses to it via our IFERI forum:A couple of weeks ago an important event took place in Sydney, Australia – one that very few Canadians realize provided a window into what is happening (or NOT happening) in our own education system.
The event? A public debate about phonics instruction (#PhonicsDebate). The topic was: Phonics in context is not enough: Synthetic phonics & learning to read.
I watched the taped event from Canada – and was riveted!
