me and all my homies hate Caulkins cuing/whole word literacy education
absolute dogshit method for teaching children to read that doesn't actually give them solid foundations in the critical literacy skills to become successful readers
#librarianposting#adjacently i also hate the demonization of literature classes#lit classes are extremely useful#literature education helps students develop fundamental skills in critical thinking and text analysis#skills that are broadly applicable and central to developing critical information and technological literacy#without literacy literacy students will struggle to develop information and technological literacy#the average American's low level of all three of these kinds of literacy is frustrating and disheartening#we're seeing this in the rise of anti intellectualism and unhinged conservative politics#things that are screwing us as a country seven ways to sunday atm
