At the Stern Center in Williston, Vermont, struggling students get a leg up on reading and other skills. For more information about teaching kids to read and helping those who struggle, visit www.readingrockets.org. Reading Rockets is a national education service of public television station WETA. Funding is provided by a grant from the US
Good.
Some schools are good at helping struggling readers, but are not good at challenging readers that are reading obove grade level. Does this happen in every school? My childs teacher says that every child has to be one the same page when it comes to reading levels, even if it means reading three letter words.
Public education does an amazing job educating many children with a multitude of learning problems, emotional issues, handicaps, and just regular students trying to make it without all the help the above get. I’d like to see ANY private school or private school teacher be handed the issues public school teachers are handed and educate them with the success that they have! What experience do you have in the classroom. Mr. Cropper?

Decoding is a terrible, destructive method of NOT teaching reading. They even have the gall to call it phonics, but it is the OPPOSITE of phonics.
Damn I hate public education!
