Episode 116: Tens of millions of Americans can barely read. Everyone should know why. Wed., Sept. 20, 2023

Let's get serious about reading. You can teach it only with phonics  because English is a phonetic language.All the other stuff is bogus, a distraction, counterfeit. a perversion, a crime against the next generation.If you are preparing pedagogy for a slave population or workers who need to read only short instructions, then sight-words are okay.Otherwise, phonics  is the correct prescription.------------------------------------------------------------------------------Biggest Crime in American History (3 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfzo02gWqF0----------------------------------------------------------------------------My favorite phonics guru is Don Potter.
