I had somewhat of a hard time understanding Gerald Coles argument
...
From what I understand he believes that phonic awareness is
a good indicator that the student will be a good reader in the future but that beginning
readers don’t necessarily need to have phonics training
...
” Smith talks about reading
being the most natural activity in the world and the students will learn to read when they
want too
...

As much as I would love to believe and allow students to learn reading and
phonics at their own pace and on their own timeline, this isn’t logical
...
If a student doesn’t learn their vocabulary or doesn’t feel like reading
until they are in fourth grade, then those students are going to be four years behind
students that decide to read in kindergarten
...
It affects being able to write,
understand mathematics, science, and social studies
...

For example, I currently have seventeen English as a Second Language students
...
However, I have
personally seen how not being able to read affects students in all subject areas
...
Dues to the fact that the students can’t read, they are unable to
understand what is being asked of them to do
...
This is a never-ending battle for them
...
Therefore I agree with the National Reading Panel that all students
must be taught how to read so that they have a fair chance to succeed
