phonics, dictation and learning language arts in context
We can't take the language out of language arts. Phonics, spelling, grammar, punctuation and the rest of language arts, are so beautifully learned while we learn the purpose and beauty of language. Phonics is how letters and sounds work together in patterns. Placing this step into reading fluency in the larger picture of the patterns of language makes so much sense. The pattern of poetry, of prose, of sentences, of thoughts expresses in the printed word.
