Update: 2023-04-07

1Description
Pamela Snow, professor at Latrobe University in Australia, discusses the arguments that keep surfacing when educators are resistant to move away from balanced literacy. You might have heard a few:
- Systematic phonics teaching is just for Tier 2.
- The goal of balanced literacy is for children to love reading.
- Explicit teaching kills the love of reading.
- Give them time, they’ll catch on or catch up.
- Teachers should choose what they think is best.
Pam’s blog post, Balanced Literacy Bingo, debunks each idea listed above and more.
