By James A. Heuer, PA On February 28, 1998, my wife and I were involved in a motor vehicle collision. We were waiting at a stoplight on the way home from dinner. There was a car in front of us so we could not turn right on red. A driver exiting the freeway crashed into the car behind us, knocking it into our car.

I have always been talking about kids who will shut down/ disengage from learning to read if the pronunciation of phonemes of consonants is taught wrongly. I leave it to teachers in schools to worry about vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, grammar and whatever else that needs to be taught. If the foundation is taken care of, the rest can be taught. They will not disengage from learning to read.Now Sara J Peden tweeted the following;@SaraJPeden Apr 16 Replying to @luqmanmichelI think you have a narrower definition of phonics than do I.
