I started teaching this year and I’ve discovered most kids can’t read either. As in they literally cannot do it.
I keep hearing this, off and on throughout my life, and it's always been something I find so perplexing. I mean, outside of major learning disabilities like dyslexia, I just can't fathom how anyone can have so much trouble with it. Even more-so with how much more commonly in-use it is with widespread access to the Internet.
Writing on the other hand I can totally understand slipping, either in part due to, or in spite of Internet access.
Step 1: Teach every kid the same course plan as you use to teach dyslexics.
Step 2: Get confused why everyone's reading like dyslexics.
