I know many people are against direct phonics instruction in the classroom, however, being that I taught 3rd grade for six years, it drove me crazy that many children come into class and have no phonics knowledge or phonemic awareness at all.? We have to teach them comprehension when they can not read to begin with.? I will be teaching second grade this year and want to be sure that their 3rd grade teachers do not have to worry about emphasizing phonics.? Are there any suggestions on how to teach phonics without "teaching phinics?" _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
