Episode Description

Episode 196:  Education reformers agree: Sight-words are a con (Wed, April 2, 2025)

Please note, this short piece runs a few seconds over 5 minutes, that's all. And then you will understand the Reading Wars, and all the nonsense of the last 100 years.

(Urgent note: you might be better off reading this as TRANSCRIPT because I'm explaining the problems of sight-words by illustrating how similar most English words are to many other  English words. For example, a sight-word reader would see these words as hugely similar: light, tight, flight, height, mighty, sights, blight, bright, fight, nightly ...

2nd urgent note: the Reading Wars started exactly 100 years ago and the Comintern  has been winning ever since. Please pass this episode to parents of young children.)
