I& #39;ve never claimed that a body cannot be a phonics professional, or an expert in phonics. 1st beef with phonics is specifically that it misrepresents the writing system. Like, good for phonics for studying sublexical patterns! Just, please, do it accurately. 1/
2nd beef with phonics is the groupthink cartel: whatever evidence there may be for studying sublexical vs. whole word, we are expected to just swallow whole lists of & #39;exceptions,& #39; nonsense, syllabaloney, decodables, SATPIN, etc. 2/
3rd beef is specifically w/ syllabaloney. Facts: English is stress- not Ï-timed. A schwa is not the same as a & #39;short u.& #39; Structurally there are 2 types of Ïs: open and closed (not 6, 7, 8..). Syllabaloney conflates spoken & written patterns. Ï pedagogy â human data. 3/
