Natalie Wexler's article, New Podcast Examines Why Teachers Have Been 'Sold a Story' on Reading Instruction caused quite a stir.
Why?
Wexler believes phonics is only part of the story.
She writes, "But here's the problem: If we don't simultaneously focus our failures with regard to comprehension and writing instruction- the latter of which is crucial in familiarizing students with the complex syntax of written language, among other things- we may JEOPARDIZE THE PROGRESS NOW BEING MADE IN TEACHING PHONICS."
In this episode, Natalie Wexler explains her article for teachers, parents, and educational leaders.
