If you want to improve K-12, you have to understand this equation.

Episode 76: Dyslexia is a Fancy Word for Sabotage  Wednesday, December 14, 2022


Here's the bottom line: phonics is essential, because it’s a mnemonic device for dealing with a huge language like English, 

If you don't have the phonics sounds to remind you how to pronounce the words, you will struggle and stall.

College students need 100,000+ sight-words. Only a grad-school memory could go over 10,000.

America had universal literacy until 1931 when the Education Establishment insisted that we drop phonics and use sight-words. Now we have universal barely-literate.

If you agree that we should dumb down the American population, you will surely love sight-words.

Remember that the basic premise was that you first teach children to read and then they can teach themselves. That's the next step which our schools have cleverly, cunningly, criminally made impossible.
