I was going to mention this. My son was taught “sight words” and it’s the dumbest fucking bullshit I’ve ever seen.
On top of that, many parents of today, do not put an importance on reading at home.
Only one teacher he’s had has done spelling tests, in all these years… one teacher.
I practice both reading and writing with my son as often as he can tolerate at home. It’s really sad seeing these kids cannot spell or write, or yes even read.
They fucked a whole generation of kids, in more than a few ways, but one of which was definitely the years they switched off phonics and taught bogus sight words.
