Children need to be taught what they need to learn in order to become more strategic and effective readers. Why? So that they enjoy reading, choose to read on their own, and comprehend what they're reading or know what to do when comprehension breaks down. For some kids, this means work on phonics. So,the answer to your question? It depends on the individual child's needs. To be honest, I'm not sure why this is even up for a debate anymore. Elisa

Throughout my time in school the great phonics controversy has popped up more than once. I would like your take on the topic. Do all children need to be taught phonics? Why or why not? Thank you, 2nd grade School Teacher _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
