Phonics

[Bea Ishler <bishler@MCPSS.COM>]

Guess I can beat you all.  My father taught me to read when I was 5 with a
McGuffy's reader.  When I went to 1st grade and had Dick and Jane, I loved
the pictures but breezed through the book.  Since having a grand daughter
who is LD - aural discrimination problem, I have learned that some children
can not learn phonics and have to use whole word.  As someone astutely said
there is no "one size fits all".  I also feel that "Hooked on Phonics" and
others like it are using parental guilt to make money.
