Show Notes

On this episode, why have phonics been systematically eliminated from the school systems? That’s what we’re going to reveal on this week's episode. The why and also the grassroots movement by parents and rebel teachers like Kristy to educate our kids in a way that actually works.

Phonics is the most basic and fundamental piece in the learning to read process. By taking it away, they have effectively taken away the most basic tool kids need to read well.

This is why we started Barefoot Learning Club. This is the core reason why children are struggling to read. Taking phonics away is taking away the most basic tool that kids need to learn to read well.

The kids can't do it, and they get blamed for all the different reasons. However, they are not being given the proper tools they need. This is NOT their fault.

Why did they eliminate phonics? And I mean, REAL phonics. Not sight words and whole language. Listen to find out.

At BLC, we are dedicated to re-establishing real phonics in our literacy programs to set our children up for confidence and success.
