Don’t get me wrong, balance literacy has its perks.
I can personally tell you that I have seen tons and tons of children increase their reading skills and capabilities because of balanced literacy.
However, they also lacked the ability to decode unknown words. 🤯
Even when I was using the balanced literacy model, I still provided my students with explicit and systematic, phonics instruction. 💯
This is because children don’t naturally learn the English language. You have to give it to them in a very simplistic and systematic way.
So simply put, kids NEED EXPLICIT AND STRUCTURED LITERACY in order to properly decode words. 🥰
