[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 136901, member: 2189"] Moreluck, Phonics was phased out in the 60's and replaced for the most part with what is known as the Look, See method. Look, See was the means used to teach deaf children how to read as the use of sound was impossible. This may have changed somewhat as some parental pressures and falling test scores in some local districts may have forced some changes. Phonics is used many private schools and is most popular amongst Home Schoolers. This may answer why they tend to dominate in various Spelling Bee competitions. Same is true of mathmatics as we've begun to slide in these areas while others, especially the far-east who use manipulatives and stress place values are moving ahead of us at light speed. [/QUOTE]
