Emily
Hanford:
Colleges typically give struggling readers audio books and
headphones with units that may learn aloud for them. These improvements can
assist poor readers sustain in math, science, and different topics, however they’ll
additionally grow to be literacy impediments.

This one is wild to me.
When the aim is the complete rope and a toddler is in intensive
decoding intervention due to, I don’t know, dyslexia- as a 1 in 5 causes
to wish such an intervention- audio-books help entry to grade-level novels
to foster progress in comprehension.
Then got here in
one Emily Hanford supporter.

Hanford shouldn’t be saying these shouldn’t be used in any respect or in
particular schooling. As a substitute, she’s saying that they shouldn’t be crutches.
Kids aren’t going to have their future tax paperwork and lease agreements
in audio kind.
Mrs. Okay
@Eduventuring04
Each trainer understands that. If a toddler can’t learn in excessive
faculty audio-books are greater than only a crutch.
My remark
now:
The type of
argument by OPD is the way in which children will argue. It’s argued that tax paperwork
won’t be in audio kind and due to this fact audio can’t be used to assist children. Mrs.
Okay didn’t counsel that these children shouldn’t be taught to learn in standard methods. She is suggesting that
audio can be utilized as a further software to show children to study.
Anyway, why
can’t a crutch be used identical to an individual who has injured his leg might be given
a crutch to make use of till his leg heal?

If the reason for their incapacity to learn is due to poor
studying instruction (particularly Balanced Literacy and Entire Language), then that
must be remedied with phonics and phonological consciousness strategies. That’s
her level.
Hanford’s argument is {that a} pupil was scuffling with
studying as a result of they weren’t given correct literacy instruction, and therefore was
struggling to learn. That’s the plain textual content of the thread and article.

OH? Is that her level? I lately heard her say in a podcast
with Kate Winn “I see no proof that someday up to now phonics has
labored.”
Whether or not it was the WL/BL or phonics interval about the identical %
of children left faculties as illiterates.
I’ve been shouting on the prime of my lungs that youngsters
predisposed to shutting down, disengage from studying to learn attributable to confusion.
Do away with the causes of this confusion and there might be fewer children requiring
intervention.

@mandylorianm Will we ever be allowed to say that poor
studying instruction get replaced with phonics and phonological consciousness
strategies?

OPD, have we by no means taught phonics up to now 100 years?
Do not get me improper, I train my college students phonics. Nonetheless, the distinction is
that I train them the proper pronunciation of sounds represented by letters.
Do you wish to talk about this?
The issue shouldn’t be WL/BL or phonics
My remark
now:
To be honest
to OPD, he/she joined Twitter solely in June 2023 and isn’t aware of the actual fact
that I had emailed Emily as early as in 2017 and 2019 and requested many questions
which haven’t been answered by her or APM Experiences.
I request
OPD to get a Kindle copy of my e-book Shut Down Youngsters to know why children
disengage from studying to learn.
OPD may
get my e-book Train Your Baby to Learn which eradicates the confusion triggered as
defined in my e-book Shut Down Youngsters.
In the meantime,
right here is one other tweet by somebody who dares to say what she believes to be true.

The quantity of people that take heed to this lady, unquestioningly,
is what scares me. She constructed a following on a manufactured disaster and now’s
on the lookout for the following large approach to capitalize on faculties/lecturers are the issue
narratives, whatever the hurt.
