Could you elaborate a bit on what your father did in high school for phonics instruction? Sent from my BlackBerry Smartphone provided by Alltel

I think we need a balance of phonics and whole language. My father taught high school English, he always pushed phonics which I found difficult at time. I also loved reading which he gave me. As student I wish I was given a balance of both. Today we need to look at the strengths of our students to see to direct our teaching. We can't use just one way to teach children words and reading. This is what differentiation is all about. Diane Weiss New Hyde Park-Garden City Park **************What's for dinner tonight? Find quick and easy dinner ideas for any occasion.
