Unfortunately, the information that you are sending out is not based on scientific research. Children do not memorize words as wholes but through orthographic mapping. I encourage you to study the science of reading so that you are providing accurate information to all of your followers.

The following resources are a great place to start building your knowledge. I hope you find this helpful!
-Listen to this famous podcast episode! https://www.apmreports.org/episode/2019/08/22/whats-wrong-how-schools-teach-reading
-Join The Facebook Group “The Science fo Reading- What I Should Have Learned in College”
-Read “Equipped for Reading Success” by David Kilpatrick

Please let me know if I can help 🙂

I’m a homeschool mom of a 7 year old and 5 year old. Both already love reading and are improving every day. But I noticed that my 5 year old usually sounds out world that my 7 year old can’t. While he knows an incredible amount of worlds, knew words stump him. I could tell my kids approached reading differently, but this helps me understand so much better. Even in a house with just 2 readers, we have both types 🙂
