Hi again!

I've had to get this down from memory - my daughter talks quickly.

She said something like:

English spelling is horrible, and teaching children to read is always a challenge since so many words in English do not follow "normal" spelling and pronunciation patterns.

The two dominant approaches to teaching reading in the UK at the moment are called "phonics" or "synthetic phonics" and "real books" or "whole books."

The UK government's preferred approach, imposed on all state schools, is "synthetic phonics". In this approach, children are taught a series of rules and strategies for how to pronounce particular letter combinations, and they build up the words from these blocks of sound.

This is controversial because so many words fall outside of the rules, because children are different and respond to different approaches, and because the evidence in favour of synthetic phonics is not strong. Most classroom teachers find that they need to use a mix of approaches if they are to teach their whole classes successfully.

Synthetic phonics is clearly helpful and a useful strategy. It is just very limiting if it is the only tool available. Analytical phonics uses a similar approach to breaking sounds into clusters, but does this on words that the children have been introduced to before working out the analysis.

Synthetic phonics approaches typically rely on a specific reading scheme - a set of carefully prepared books that start off with simple, familiar words that obey the rules. The lessons and the reading books work together. The weakness is that after a long time the children are still unable to read or pronounce many words (that do not conform to normal expectations) that they will often come across in texts outside of their reading scheme. Whether this helps or hinders their speed, accuracy and ease of learning in the mediuim and longer term is controversial; it may be that different children respond better to different approaches, or to different blends of approach.

The "real books" approach involves a focus on reading "real books" - material from anywhere that children might come across in their lives. Progress often seems slower at the beginning, but over the medium term children taught in this way often show great resilience and imagination when facing unknown words, and are less likely to get in a tangle when a word does not sound like "the rules" suggest it "ought to".

So, in that context, there are lots of reading scheme resources available online, some of them free. She would not recommend one over another.

Good online dictionaries (Cambridge, Collins, OUP) usually include recordings of pronunciations, and these are a real help.

She did point me towards two more resources:

Dictionaries (I'm sure you know these):

I hope something here is useful: I think that teachers are the heroes of our age. Without them, and the chain of learning passing down the generations, we might still be out hunting and gathering our food, and wondering if we could learn to do things better ...! ☺️ ☺️ ☺️❤️❤️❤️

A: CH: Hi DK. Did you finish the report that I requested on Monday? / that i requested this monday?
DK: Sorry CH, I am still writing it...It should be completed by this week / by the end of this week.
(Say “by the end of this week” if the report will completed during the same week that CH asked you to write it)

CH: Thanks. By the way, I have one question. Are you writing it in Korean? We need an English version.
DK: Really, OK, I will send it to you after I convert it to English.

This seems to be a formal conversation, so I would say “by the way” instead of “btw”.
