The guy asks a question about prision literacy and you reply with some right wing propaganda about phonics and children??? If you want to promote phonics, you should say: "I think that phonics is good. There is no evidence that phonics is better or worse than other approaches to adult literacy or children literacy. It is one of several important components to adult literacy education, as well as children literacy education. However, this is the only component that I think that is important, and I will ridicule other elements of education because I am rigid, and I have been totally politicized. Moreover, I will bring up children's education and phonics into any discussion even if it is not relevant, because it is my political agenda" If you are not trying to say this, this is what you sound like. Possible phonics excersices t + uck, children sound the word s + it, children sond word b + uck, children sound the word l + it, children sound word p + uck, children sound trhe word p + it children sound word l + uck, children sound the word sh + ........ f + ........... Any other suggestions? this sounds like fun.
