reading "at a loss for words: how a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers" by apm reports
Goodman and Clay believed that letters were the least reliable of the three cues, and that as people became better readers, they no longer needed to pay attention to all the letters in words. "In efficient word perception the reader relies mostly on the sentence and its meaning and some selected features of the forms of words," Clay wrote. For Goodman, accurate word recognition was not necessarily the goal of reading. The goal was to comprehend text. If the sentences were making sense, the reader must be getting the words right, or right enough.
what the fuck is WRONG WITH YOUUUU. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU OH MY GODDDDD. if this is how i find out that my tutees have been reading i'm going to go apeshit but thankfully this is NOT how i teach them to get better at reading!!! they seem okay at phonetics nowadays at least they're just not exposed to like... anything at all. outside of school. in a reading way.
