Sorry for another post, but I meant to change the subject line before. I am participating in a professional discussion, not a war.

    I agree with Lucille. In my experience, beginning readers and people with learning disabilities learn best when we use all the "tools"
  Such as: 
  --Supported reading: shadow reading, echo reading, choral reading
  --Being read to
  --Writing instruction
  --Reading aloud
  --Silent reading
  --Language experience
  --Phonics instruction in the context of all of the above
  (There are more, of course)
   
  And then I need to use the different tools sensibly. I think there needs to be a system.  How does it all fit together? What is working for each student?  Where is there a gap for which I need a new tool? Etc....

  Thank you for words of wisdom. You express succinctly my thoughts.

What's so hard about understanding you need ALL tools for the job? Would a
plumber attempt a repair with only a plunger?
