Are you arguing that kids should not study the English writing system until they have been programmed to treat it as a code for speech, a bad explanation of how written English works?

Will you please explain what you mean by "1st stages"?
“Understanding a word’s structure and then spelling the word by announcing its morphemes is a more reliable strategy for spelling than sounding it out or judging the word on its looks.” @MaryBethSteve18 mbsteven.edublogs.org/2023/0…
Isn’t their work amazing? Check out the tools they use to deepen their understanding of the writing system, identify and correct errors in their current thinking, and create explanatory knowledge for reading and spelling.
These lucky learners are studying the English writing system, investigating “tricky” words to discover their relatives, elements, and units.

Hi Jennifer. I agree that there are several strategies for word reading that are not MSV.
Did the research that you shared also look at peeling off known affixes (to reveal the base element) as a word-level action that readers can take?
