npub1mexq2eagqavq0hzychu7jr2yh7grgxcwasae3lle8ywtasw0mkpqujqtcz (npub1mex…qtcz) I think it's kind of scary the way they talk about 'the science of reading'. Research shows that most children can learn to read without phonics. In the UK, an increasing narrowing of the curriculum to focus on phonics has led to no overall improvement in reading, and the tide is beginning to turn against phonics, far from it being seen as a 'science'. If children can't answer a real life maths question, it's generally because they don't understand the language, not the maths.
