School shutdowns have put children up to eight months behind in reading
- zepto 6y agoHow does this contrast with Finnish schools which don’t even begin to teach reading until age 7. This idea of being ‘behind’ seems to be based on a flawed paradigm of how learning works.
- uberman 6y agoI agree. My kids definitely read more in lockdown than at school. They might be be falling behind with respect to learning some of the mechanics like proper identification of clauses but for number of words read they are certainly ahead. Perhaps this is more pronounced for kids in grades 1 to 4 as that seems to be the focus of the article.
