Like Lizzo says, itās about damn time. My bright kid came to hate reading because of the idiotic āwhole wordā bullshite. Thank gawd she had a gr 5 teacher who thought the same way about it. Letās hope #Manitoba picks it up.

@prairiecelt I mean, I was taught phonics in school. I went from being a bad reader to, well, being a librarian.
@LiberalLibrarian I think their point is you need the basic foundation - what sounds do the letters make in the first place and how do they change in different combinationsā¦ Helps with becoming a good speller too.
