@ehanford @LianaLoewus How could you over teach phonics? You teach phonics until the child knows how to read - reading is the goal, and when you have reached this you dont teach phonics no more. 3.2K views · 9 likes · 2 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@ehanford @LianaLoewus I am in schools across this country as are many who are a part on X, and I have yet to see anywhere where there is an overteaching of phonics. When scientists make claims they should and must make those claims based on EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE. 2.3K views · 42 likes · 8 reposts · 6 replies Open on X →
