Phonics. It's phonics. Your school needs to be teaching kids how to read with phonics. It's nice to inculcate a culture of reading at home but your school needs phonics-based instruction. If they don't raise hell at your school board until they do.
Y'all gonna make me tap my sign again that reading to your kid at home is not enough for a lot of kids to learn how to read and that schools do not put enough resources into screening for dyslexia and making sure that kids who need direct, explicit phonics instruction are getting it.

They're 8 years old, you absolute ghoul. They need phonics and recess, not a hard hat & an apprenticeship in the coal mines.
BASH: One of the things that's happening is there's a push to start students down a trade school track as early as elementary school. Is that too early?
LINDA McMAHON: I don't think so
BASH: But elementary school?
McMAHON: I think you can have some introduction of skilled trades in elementary

Pete Hegseth: “I remember mocking, sort of joking with my friends saying, ‘Oh, Hooked on Phonics worked for me.’ Remember Hooked on Phonics? It was sort of like a joke. Turns out, I need phonics because I don’t know how to diagram a sentence.“

Everyone has collective amnesia about no child left behind. There is no phonics, only test prep.
a massive wave of children not being able to read by high school is a sign of societal collapse, not just lazy parents and spoiled children

The reason Louisiana is doing so shockingly well at this despite being a pretty sucky state on the whole is that they went all-in on phonics.
Phonics empirically works and other methods of teaching kids to read are empirically far inferior to phonics.

Untrue. Phonics was mandated under No Child Left Behind and has been part of every state’s reading curriculum for over 25 years. Phonics only teaches pronunciation and word recognition skills. It doesn’t teach reading comprehension skills. Teaching phonics after 4th grade is ineffective.
