N. Y. Times Endorses Phonics...Must Read!!!
Surprising news. Times ran big research article titled: "Why Are We Still Teaching Reading the Wrong Way?"
Stop messing around....phonics is the only game in town....that's what the Times said.

This is wonderful news. Why they did it now, I don't know. Why didn't they do it 25 or 50 years ago, thats my question, as discussed here: "K-12: the Politics of Illiteracy."

US has 40 million functional illiterates, most of them created by dysfunctional teaching methods. Whole Word or Look-Say were always, in my opinion, bogus. The New York Times helped keep those bad methods in play.
Maybe they felt guilty. I'm sure that around the world, professors are having panic attacks as they see the basis of a career destroyed. For reformers, it's a good time. Things should loosen up. Well, I can hope.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
