John
Corcoran’s web site says the next which seems to be a copy-paste effort.
His web site:
Whereas a small subset of youngsters can study to learn irrespective of
how they’re taught, a majority of scholars require express instruction to
learn to decode and encode the written language, abilities that the human
mind isn’t naturally wired to do.
My ideas:
I’ve learn this nonsense for over a decade. Academics educate
sounds of consonants with extraneous sounds (added vowel sounds) and when youngsters
can not decode and mix, they are saying they want express instruction to decode and
encode.
This nonsense that the human mind isn’t naturally wired to
learn is what these so-called educators promote. How can I educate anybody to learn
Pinyin inside two weeks of an hour- lengthy lesson a day? Why are youngsters in a position to
learn in Malay however not in English? The place did John Corcoran get this nonsense
that the mind isn’t naturally wired to learn? LINK
His web site:
There is no such thing as a magic capsule to remedy illiteracy. The one remedy for
illiteracy is literacy–and reaching it requires an method aligned with
science.
The Studying League defines the science of studying as “an unlimited,
interdisciplinary physique of scientifically-based analysis about studying and
points associated to studying and writing.”
My ideas:
One other load of nonsense. Do away with the poison, which is the
flawed educating of sounds of consonants, and no child shall be left behind. What
scientific method is he speaking about? He’s selling his wares identical to
most others on social media.
I dare him to indicate me one child in grades one and above who
can’t learn at grade stage and sounds out the consonants with out extraneous
sounds.
His web site:
This physique of analysis exhibits us how the mind learns to learn
and write. Expert, fluent studying begins with studying how our spoken language
is represented by written phrases and the way our sounds are represented by letters.
My ideas:
Sounds represented by consonants must be taught with out
added vowel sounds. LINK
His web site:
Like so many subliterate youngsters, teenagers, and adults at this time, I
was by no means given the instruments to unlock the code wanted to entry which means from
textual content. Regardless of all my efforts and needs, I had no thought how one can flip written
phrases on a web page into spoken phrases, nor did I notice our written language was a
code in any respect.
At age 48, I used to be dealt a brand new hand. Once I acquired express,
multimodal studying instruction and at last discovered how one can learn and write, the
world was opened as much as me.
My ideas:
If John is severe about decreasing illiteracy ought to he not be
writing particularly why he couldn’t learn till the age of 48? This query
additionally applies to David Chalk who mentioned he began studying at 62. LINK
His web site:
The dignity, the fairness, that we search for all require a
extremely collaborative effort to beat the damaging inequalities that the
illiteracy and sub-literacy of tens of millions of youngsters, teenagers, and adults nonetheless
trigger.
My ideas:
He says one
factor and does the precise reverse factor. ‘Collaborative effort’ would imply
discussing this over a Zoom assembly with me. He, nevertheless, needs me to purchase his
three books earlier than organising a Zoom assembly.
