I have written 2 articles on this topic but I am prompted to write again on this as within a span of less than a week two dyslexia experts have said that kids are unable to read in English because it is an opaque language.
English is considered an opaque language because letters represent more than one sound.
This is a continuation of my tweets with Dr. Kathryn Garforth.
Luqman Michel:
Dr. Tell us what is so complex about learning to read simple sentences in children's books in English. Very simple stories. Why do about 20% of kids disengage from learning to read?
Why does a majority grope in the dark until they figure out how to read?
