Daily episode about the dominant seller of reading education materials. Calkins was proven wrong about ignoring phonics but took huge amount of people with her for decades. As is human nature, she didn’t apologize, though she did backpedal a little.
I had no idea this was going on. In Massachusetts, at least as of three years ago, time is explicitly spent on phonics in kindergarten and first grade. I don’t know if they picked it back up recently or never stopped.
