I don't have time to listen to a podcast. Is there a website I can read?

It's basically "look at the sentence", "look at the picture", and "look at the first letter" and then guess what the word might be. Sometimes they will even block a word out entirely and have kids guess what the word might be based on context.

It's not effective, as you can imagine.

You can download a transcript from the site I posted.

The 4 articles linked at the bottom of the Sold a Story page are a better read than the rebuttal. Dr. Clay is only part of the problem.
