Below is a post by Dyann Powell whose profile says she is a Dyslexia Specialist and expert in dyslexia.
I tried to comment on the post but only connections were allowed to comment.
I asked a simple question: If either methods, Phonics or Whole Word/Balanced Literature can reduce illiteracy why has the graph showing the non-proficiency of children remained flat since 1972?
Somewhere in those 50-odd years, we must have had Whole Language/ Balanced Language and phonics.
Another question I asked was: What is it with peer-reviewed research?
What do we do when there are no research reports? Dyann Powell, your comment is awaited.
