How To Understand the Reading Wars--
Know anyone labeled "functionally illiterate" or "dyslexic"? You know a victim of look-say. Why was this dangerous idea introduced into the schools?
"A Tribute to Rudolph Flesch" (#21 on Improve-Education) explains vividly and briefly why look-say doesn't work and why our educators pushed this bogus reading pedagogy. NEW ARTICLE ADDED: "30: The War Against Reading" extends this expose.
Remember "Why Johnny Can't Read"? Flesch explained it all back in 1955. But educators ignored him and villified him. Why?! It's a crime mystery, in many ways.
Improve-Education presents 30 lively essays on a range of topics...but none more important than these investigations of educators gone wild. Look-say, the articles say, is arguably a form of child abuse. Even phonics fanatics often have no idea why they have to fight so hard to make sure children actually learn to read. These articles will tell you!
A third article--#25: Phooey on John Dewey--brings in other evidence that these early educators--Socialists all--deliberately undermined American education, with the goal of creating simpler, more compliant citizens.
