Isolated phonics lessons aren’t working: here’s a better way to teach young children to read and write

This is because England’s curriculum policies and guidance have restricted phonics lessons to an overwhelming emphasis on phonemes and letters at the expense of other aspects of reading, and writing, that are not to be covered in phonics lessons.

Key Points: 
  • This is because England’s curriculum policies and guidance have restricted phonics lessons to an overwhelming emphasis on phonemes and letters at the expense of other aspects of reading, and writing, that are not to be covered in phonics lessons.
  • Aspects such as comprehension, engaging with real books, and writing activities, are all to be taught in different lessons.
  • One consequence of England’s synthetic phonics is that children are likely to be less motivated to read, because synthetic phonics lessons are not focused on motivation and real purposes for reading.

Models of reading

  • In spite of some positive aspects, the main limitation of the Simple View of Reading – and some other, similar models for learning to read – is that the original evidence base was research done with children who struggle with reading, rather than research done with more typical readers.
  • What’s more, the models do not include various elements that are important for effective teaching because they are more focused on a limited range of elements of children’s learning.
  • My new research with colleague Charlotte Hacking proposes a new model of reading, which we call the “Double Helix”.
  • But as an expert in reading education, I think that this trend is not backed up by a balanced and rigorous appraisal of the evidence of what works in the teaching of reading and writing.

For American Jews, interfaith weddings are a new normal – and creatively weave both traditions together

The groom’s mother read and explained the seven blessings of a Jewish wedding; the bride’s mother read from the Quran and then provided an English translation.

Key Points: 
  • The groom’s mother read and explained the seven blessings of a Jewish wedding; the bride’s mother read from the Quran and then provided an English translation.
  • The bride and groom sipped from the same cup of wine, as one does at a Jewish wedding.
  • My friend’s interfaith wedding might seem unusual, but it is part of the American Jewish normal.
  • In my research on interfaith families, I’ve seen ceremonies combine traditions in a wide array of ways.

A meaningful canopy

  • Sometimes the Jewish wedding canopy, called a chuppah, is simply a beautiful piece of cloth, or combined with floral arrangements.
  • At interfaith ceremonies, the chuppah is often a way to weave another culture into the wedding.
  • When Jews marry people from India – be they Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or even another Jew – they will sometimes use a sari or a shawl with distinctively Indian embroidery to make the wedding canopy.

Getting creative

  • Other rabbis allow another clergy person to offer a reading or take another role in the ceremony – sometimes to picturesque effect.
  • No matter who performs the ceremony, couples often find creative ways to incorporate their traditions into the wedding day.
  • Often, families will include food from the non-Jewish culture, whether it’s elaborate Italian American dinners or Chinese wedding banquets.
