[NLA] What would you recommend?

[tom zurinskas]

I've just read that the teaching of "phonics" was
banned in 1986.  Is that right?  Hope not.  If so the
public should know that "We Were Wrong". - according
to the National Reading Panel.  Their meta-study of 52
studies finds that phonics (phonemic awareness) helps.
