Just seen a thing on the news that says some kind of phonics kits are being given out to teach children to read earlier at school. About eighteen years ago, I started primary school and could read and write. I had been starved of oxygen at birth and it was doubtful, in the doctor's opinion that I would be able to do such tasks as reading, writing etc. So my mum taught me to read and write when I was about three, in fact I think I could probably read before then. When I got to primary school, my teacher told my mum off for teaching me to read and said it would probably have stressed me - it did nothing of the sort. I wonder what has changed in the last few years. |
