Is Australia failing to teach kids to read?
Manage episode 433160598 series 2507494
It’s been called a forever war: the fight over how to teach children to read.
For decades, an outdated method has lingered in Australian classrooms as states protect schools’ right to teach how they wish.
Following a recent report from the Grattan Institute that found a third of Australian children couldn’t read well, state governments are finally picking a side and mandating the best way to teach reading.
Today, associate editor of The Saturday Paper Martin McKenzie-Murray on why “vibes-based learning” stuck around for so long and how children should actually be taught literacy.
