What grade levels did you teach, and how fluent were your students at reading? Did most of them learn from parents or learn when they got to school?
I'm a high school math teacher and I know our school's English and reading scores aren't too hot, so I assume at least some of them must not have learned to read properly. But I haven't had to teach reading firsthand so I couldn't really have strong opinions (other than that phonics is good and cueing is bad). You're definitely right that the way Hanford frames it is that one simple curriculum switch fixes everything when really teaching is much harder than that. I can hardly control 17 year olds haha let alone 5 year olds
I’m so glad you linked those shelves because I hadn’t realized Nathan James had some of their headboards on sale too! I was in the market for one, and just found one for wayyy discounted! Book adjacent so I can luxuriously read in bed 😂
