and knew at that other thread wasnt for discussing abt in regards to this issue -- HAVE any of u seen kids growing up with the education of "phonics for reading" program qq especially those who has hearing kids or have hearing family members that grew up with that program --
here in the mid atlantic region our hearing kids are taught that method while young in elementary school and it PEEVES the hell out of me cuz ive watched my hearing neice and nephew be taught that and their spelling is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! and i have to ask them to please define the word theyre trying to spell cuz its sometimes very difficult to try and figure out what theyre trying to write/type -- ive pointed that out to my sister whos their mom and my mother and told them that teaching them by reading and spelling is the best way to go -- and pointed out Deaf children can be taught reading and have good spelling skills WITHOUT use of "phonics" which i thought was blantant BS by the county's department of education and they said its a "good" program
i think NOT!!!!!!!!!
what is ur take on this issue qq
