#StructuredLiteracy is NOT just for kinder & Gr1-3. Many high school Ss struggle b/c they weren’t taught foundational reading skills: phonics, spelling, etc. Should High school Ts know how to teach Ss how to read if they can’t read to learn? Great podcast M&L @literacypodcast!

as with all things, there are not totally clear answers, but ... data and theory do not appear to support the idea that advanced PA is necessary for the development of strong word-recognition skills nor that PA instruction should be entirely done without reference to print.
