This is the incontrovertible truth that over seventy-five years of scientific reading research has taught us:
Luqman Michel
Can you please educate me on how thousands of kids and adults can recite the Quran by memory?
I have never said the Lord's prayer for the past 55 years. How is it possible for me to recite it today?
I learned the alphabet and the times table by memory more than 60 years ago. Did I analyse it?
Incontrovertible truth that SCIENTIFIC reading research has taught us? Who is this guy trying to kid? His profile says ‘consultant’. This is how these guys survive – they call themselves consultants.
If our brains gets reading right by turning segmented sounds into sight how do the deaf and mute learn to read. Read my post here. LINK

As you've pointed out, I am amazed by people's ability to learn far more than most people think possible. The whole Quran! Amazing! I have a close friend in England who is Muslim - we used to have long and in-depth discussions about religion - and I was blown away to learn how much of the Quran people memorize. I also am fascinated with the number of characters people learn who read Chinese. Fascinating and amazing!
Phillip Chipping Thank you. These things are all public knowledge and yet there are those who say memorisation is not useful.
This is another reason why many keep saying phonics does not work.
Phonics proponents insist on teaching everything using phonics. The WL proponents are the other extreme.
What is the harm in kids memorising the 220 Dolch words? When you don't teach kids to memorise these words they are confused when they can't read many words phonetically. They shut down and we conveniently call them dyslexics.
Phillip Chipping Being fascinated is one thing but to voice your opinion against those who say that kids should not memorise sight words is another thing.
The 'Phonetics' saying that kids should not rote memorise HFWs is why many kids shut down from learning to read and are classified as dyslexic.
The Whole Language proponents then say that phonics does not work.
Why don't you start a discussion on this on LinkedIn?
