EVERY teacher, administrator and parent reads this article. For 30 years educators taught kids how to read using “whole language” instead of phonics. Lucy Calkins and friends made over $2 billion dollars selling this garbage to educators. Now 60% of students are functionally illiterate.

Parents, don’t get mad at the teachers, be mad at the administrators who were so stupid and got duped into forcing teacher to teach this stupid way of teaching kids how to read.
