- CM>To Elahe..read your message about phonics and WL. We do both in
- CM>our grade one classes and it is not confusing. Children need all
- CM>the strategies that can get as they learn to read. They also
- CM>need basics to have some sort of foundation. I dont quite agree
- CM>with all the approaches of WL. I feel a teacher should use good
- CM>ideas from every approach she knows about and feels that it can
- CM>help the young student. We have been doing this for years and
- CM>our students have gained from it and so have the parents
- CM>appreciated from it. The majority of our students become
- CM>proficient readers by grade two.
