The vocabulary of the average American has dropped from 25,000 words recognized to 10,000 words.
Years ago I was into a popular virtual chat programme and at least 3 or 4 times people tried to shoot me down because I spoke proper English with none of the text short cuts. And I used real words. "NO one talks like that" I would be told. My response was usually to get a dictionary and learn a word a day and someday they too MIGHT sound remotely intelligent.
The elite consider education to be a waste of time, this is why TRAINING has replaced education over the past few decades. Words have also been assigned new interpretations often stripping them of compassionate values.
The drive to have children read has been described as "an abnormal and unnecessary fetish". All they want is someone smart enough to read for their employment but too dumb to go home and wonder why things are as they are.
They also consider time spent in the classroom a waste of good time when the students could be out applying themselves to working and producing.
This will be a good series when it comes out. Pity too many people are too illiterate to comprehend it.
Shhhh! It's a military secret, but phonics is the only real way of learning how to read -- a skill that will last a lifetime. Other methods involve too much memorizing and mental tasking, such that students usually learn to hate to read.
Blumenfeld's books on phonics are very sound.
Cell phones for children separate the child from the family. That statement made me gasp. That's really a sad statement and event.
