Deirdre,
To make you feel better, I am one of those teachers who does not like to
teach phonics. I try my best, but for me it is difficult to make that
time in my classroom fun

Hi,
Regarding phonics, I had an extremely wise professor (28 years ago!!) that
said, Phonics has a place, but not in reading.

Yes I too would like to get back to comprehension. Know some will argue
that the child has to decode words in order to comprehend. Some of us would
argue with that sequence as linear and so on. WHATEVER!!! The point of
this list is not discussing phonics. Rather we go to the heart of the

Elisa,
I guess that sentence did imply that, but it was meant as a more generic
response to teachers who don't like teaching phonics because it's boring or
they don't comprehend

Hi Deirdre,
It was this line in your first post that initiated my response: Don't
abandon what the students need just
I think that reflective and knowledgeable teachers is the key to the challenges
we may encounter in the classroom. I agree that if all we do is complain and
don't have any suggestion to offer then it's not a good thing. Thanks again

Well, it could be taught as language, but it's still phonics and a very
important component of reading. We teach comprehension strategies, and
thinking aloud strategies, writing strategies, yet we don't want to teach
decoding strategies? And we wonder why our society has literacy issues!
Deirdre,
Where did you get the idea that teachers, especially on this list, don't want

Very well written response and well said, We do need to recognize
all children's learning needs are different and accommodate
accordingly. All children in your classroom may not need the same
intensity of phonics instruction, but some children will. Isn't it our
job as teachers to teach

Congratulations on all your accomplishments with your students. Just one
comment - a balanced program, as you say, includes instruction in phonics as
one of the cueing systems. They are not in opposition to each other.
