Recently I blogged on Dr. Anuar Ahmad of UKM and Puan Fadhlina Sidek stating that they do not respond to emails on how to reduce intervention.
A Facebook member replied that it is harsh to put the blame solely on them as Dr. Anuar Ahmad is a researcher and Puan Fadhlina Sidek is only a minister. He said that it was the Education Ministry who implemented irrelevant curricula that is to be blamed.

Here is a comment I wrote this morning on the post above.
The above is the simple view of reading put forward more than 30 years ago (More than thirty years ago) by Gough and Tunmer in 1986.
An individual's reading comprehension (RC) is the product of his decoding skill (WR) and language comprehension (LC).
The question that begs a response is why has the reading proficiency level remained the same since 1972.
Yesterday, I listened to a podcast by Kate of IDA Ontario and Lyn Stone from Australia.
The topic was: Literacy Myth-Busting with Lyn Stone (LINK)
The episode was propaganda against Balanced Literature and Whole Language and nothing more.
Hundreds of children didn’t progress because of instruction. (Lyn)
