The following is another misleading Tweet I read yesterday.
Rod Everson @OnTrackReading
The problem with sight word teaching is that the memorization goes on in the right brain whereas the left brain is used for efficient reading. 6-year-olds construct their own right-brain mnemonics to recall the words. Needless to say, they're not always the most reliable mnemonics.
This is the kind of disinformation spread by many teachers which is believed by parents and teachers without thinking.
Sell whatever products you want to sell but surely not by spreading misinformation which will prevent kids from learning to read.
