Learning to Read – what started going right?

 

This morning I read an article on Thinking Reading. 

By Dianne and James Murphy August 22, 2023.

I commented and it says that my comment is awaiting moderation.

This time around, I decided to copy my comment.

Excellent article. This is exactly what I have been saying since 2010, six years after teaching my first student to read.

I then taught more than 80 similar kids and wrote extensively on social media that I disagreed with the theory, at that time, that kids were unable to read due to phonological awareness deficit.

Please Google ‘phonological awareness deficit Luqman Michel’ and read some of the articles/comments in blogs I wrote since 2010.

That theory was debunked in 2017.

The above title is from an article by ‘The Reading Ape blog’ on April 27^th 2020, that you can find here.

It was tweeted by Dianne Murphy on 5.8.2020 in her blog ‘The Literacy Echo Chamber’

Here are a few extracts and my comments.
