Like Lizzo says, it’s about damn time. My bright kid came to hate reading because of the idiotic “whole word” bullshite. Thank gawd she had a gr 5 teacher who thought the same way about it. Let’s 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.
