Is 3-cueing even being used anymore? It seems decently well known that it's garbage that hurts students.

- sickofparadox 2y agoI'm not familiar with 3-cueing but according to the last public school teacher I spoke with "whole word literacy" seems to be the method of the day today, and I am at best skeptical of its efficacy.

- AlanYx 2y ago3-cueing is still being used in some places, although there's been strong pushback in the last couple of years. 3-cueing isn't the main problem though these days IMHO. It's "balanced literacy" reading instruction strategies that try to find a middle ground with phonics and either cueing or whole word reading. My daughter's school for example did a lot of phonics to start, but then inexplicably transitioned to teaching a weird strategy where you look at the shape of the word and the first letter and guess, using pictures to help if available, and then only as a last resort, sound it out. It baffles the mind. (If it worked, I wouldn't object, but too often it ended up with attempts to utter "decoded" words that were quite far off from the actual text of the word.)
- ziml77 2y agoJeez that's crazy. I wonder if teachers at your daughter's school are in conflict over the strategy to use so they decided to use a hybrid approach to make both sides equally unhappy. I really hope that everything other than phonics continues to get enough pushback to completely wipe them out. Because otherwise children are just being set up for failure :(
