1. How I Taught My Kid to Read
  
  from The Atlantic
  
  Children can learn quickly by sounding out words, letter by letter—but somehow, the method is still controversial.

  @mpjgregoire I read that article a few weeks ago and was surprised that phonics is considered controversial. That's how most of my peers and I learned to read, and I still remember the ol' "Hooked on Phonics worked for me!" TV commercials. I assumed it had long ago become the mainstream, standard method for teaching children to read.
