I believe Kozloff has been misquoted.
I would be grateful if any of those who have quoted the above to please explain where they got this idea that learning 10 sounds of letters will enable kids to read about 26,000 words (720+ 4320+ 21,600 = 26640 words.)
I am all for phonics but I won't stoop so low and mislead readers.
How can teachers like Emina McLean share such quotes without thinking. How will it affect parents and other teachers?
This is another case of the blind leading the blind.
