IN OTHER WORDS
Misconceptions About Appropriate Literacy Instruction for Young Children
BY KATHARINE PACE MILE | Nov 05, 2015

 A Short excerpt:
"I strongly support the claim that children learn best through play. However, as a reading scientist who studies how beginners learn to read, I feel compelled to clarify a few misconceptions about the forms of literacy instruction appropriate during the early childhood years (birth to age 8). The supposition that teachers should not provide literacy instruction to young children is troubling and dangerous, and suggesting that all children will acquire sufficient literacy skills through play alone is misguided."
