Lesli E. M.S, CALT, LDT and Certified Teacher
There are several older students I work with who do not know their letters and sounds. We need to give students what they need not what we think they should have based on data. Too many students are overlooked and they have learned coping skills (memorization) only to learn they actually can’t read.

"We need to give students what they need not what we think they should have based on data."
What do the students need to decode?
I quit accounting work to research why intelligent kids could read in Malay and Hanyu Pinyin but not in English.
My work is based on what I learned from my students from 2004 to 2019 by teaching them to read.
The experts who know why they could not read are the students and not PhDs who copy-paste material found online.
I have written several posts on students who figure out how to read.
Does anyone know how a child learns to read?
Fortunately, many kids figure out how to read despite being taught letter sounds wrong.
They need to be taught the sounds represented by letters the way they were meant to be taught - without extraneous sounds.
Why do children cope by memorising?
It is because they cannot figure out why cuhahtuh sounds out the word cat.
They are unable to blend because it does not make sense to them.
My comment now:
What is the meaning of Certified Teacher.
Shouldn't certified teachers know this simple thing?
