We could name this post "On the road with the Reading Teachers" Our first mother/daughter training 📚👯

It’s ALL nonsense. Why are we teaching and evaluating our early readers in non sense word fluency? These words have zero meaning- they aren’t real words. I do understand this is supposed to assess fluency in decoding, but this is a crazy practice... and now we are teaching to this test? How have we gotten here? If we want data on how our readers decode words, can I suggest we give them actual words, or maybe even a book? 😎📚

The nonsense of teaching nonsense words How this common practice hurts dyslexic kids and makes it harder for them to learn how to read.
