There are few topics more contentious in homeschooling or indeed in all of the education world than how to teach reading. Whole Language? Phonetics? Whole Word? Hybrid?
Today on WHYY there was a wonderful piece addressing this topic and giving listeners the point of view of a scientific expert in the field. The program is available as a pod cast or can be downloaded in MP3 or you can just listen to it online via real-player.
The audio transcript of the show can be found on WHYY's website, Monday July 16th. The show is Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coanne. It is archived under the date, 1:23pm, hour 2 of the show.
