Disinformation by SoR advocates

 

I saw the following image on LinkedIn and commented on it. I then happened to see that that image was liked by 83 members and was re-posted by 42 of them. I then decided to post this on my blog hoping to get some comments from those who re-posted. Will any of the 42 educators have anything to say? It will be an interesting discussion.

 

The following are my comments on the LinkedIn post. 

My third lesson with Jack and a comparison with my previous students

 

Yesterday, 4.5.2022 was my 3^rd lesson with Jack.

There are many traits of Jack that are similar to that of Emmanual whom I taught in 2019 and my first student, Ian Ho, whom I started teaching in 2004.

Jack, keeps guessing words instead of reading what is in front of him. As mentioned, this will take at least a month to unlearn but unlearn it he will.

He still pronounces the sounds represented by letters wrongly and that too will take a while to unlearn.

How to memorise Dolch words (most frequently used words)

 Edward William Dolch derived a list of the most frequently used words in the 1930s. The Dolch list includes conjunctions, prepositions, pronouns, adverbs, adjectives and verbs; it includes 220 words. He referred to these words as “tool” or “service” words because they are used in all writing regardless of subject matter.
