The article gave a rather complex explanation to an issue that used to be called visual vs auditory learning for years. We have always recognized these learning modes. Perhaps their model has some value, but we have been (or could have been) dealing with the issue without the theory. I am a fan of Occam's Razor.

The International Reading Association just published its RTI document with respect to establishing principles for reading interventions. Although I favor many of the reforms proposed by the commission, I do have problems with some of the initiatives.<br />

I have written a review of this new document titled "Response to Intervention: What Just Won't Work." Included are links to the document itself.

Alice, I tried following the other 3 links in your messge, but none of the them functioned. Can you repost them.<br />
By the way, my comment on Ira's blog was directed to math disability not reading disability. I am even more passionate about that issue.

I think you'll find each other helpful given your differing backgrounds, but similar approaches. I was going to come back to this Friday or Saturday. I'm deep in testing, and other stuff this week.

Alice, I took your suggestion and read Ira Socol's latest blog and found him very much a kindred spirit. I commented on his blog and offered my help in dissertation design and statistics.

Just because some think phonics as foundational, does not make it so. Let us look at it from several perspectives. This is an argument based on authority and assumes the authority is correct.<br />
<br />
The Chinese do not have a phonetic language and they can read. So phonics is not fundamental to every language. The Japanese start young children an initial phonetic approach, but when they start to learn more serious material, there is a switch to the pictographic form.<br />
<br />

If phonics is truly fundamental to reading, then the deaf could never learn to read.<br />

Reading means deriving meaning from the printed word. Phonetic decoding is one way to do it. It is called the indirect phonological route to meaning.<br />
<br />
The reading disabled children in the study knew what the words meant even though they could not say them.<br />

I am well aware of the controversies around science and education. That is why I avoided academic jargon and said simply what the students could and could not do. Might the results be due to correlation and not causality? I really do not see how? Do you?
