LOL -

Unfortunately, phonics (as well as other things academic), backfire on us

with Jacqui.

About a year or so ago I posted how Jacqui had better handwriting BEFORE

they started teaching her the " right " way to write.

Same with reading. Jacqui has been reading since she was 2, and did not

learn phonetically. I am assuming that they have been teaching phonetics in

school, because words that she would " instinctively " know how to pronounce

are now being " sounded out " , such as DEPOT is now De-Pawt instead of De-Poh.

phooey.

I learned whole language and it was easy for me as I am a visual learner

with a good memory. But phonics is better for some.
