Time to celebrate. Reading, real reading, can have a come back. This is big. Please share this announcement with 50 of your favorite people.
Reading Wars have raged for almost 100 years. This was never an imaginary thing, a mere figure of speech. It was real Americans, sensible Americans, trying to protect their schools and their children from an infestation. What progressives called education was really a kind of indoctrination, a kind of poison, a kind of engineered stupor. I.e. the deliberate dumbing down of America
I kept this thing short so everyone could read it two times. You have to understand what reading should be and then you'll appreciate how badly damaged we are. The left has been engaged in a dumbing down of America, and their main weapon, their nuclear weapon, was replacing traditional reading instruction with nonsense designed not to work.

CODA:
RE: Support Education Reform
I’m raising funds to rebuild my main site Improve-Education.org (founded2005), which was "lost" by the hosting company.
Perhaps just as important, I want to be able to publicize important developments, like this news about phonics and the Science of Reading. Everybody in America should know this squalid story where determined ideologues sabotaged the effective teaching of literacy. (That's my conclusion.) There are many millions damaged by this activity and many many millions more who still don’t know what happened to reading in American public schools.
For either good cause, please consider donating to Support Education Reform.

Additionally, this site presents a brief rundown of the half-dozen different facets of my reform efforts: Podcast "Let's Fix Education".... 50 YouTube videos.... 150 articles on American Thinker....1000 answers on Quora....ETC.
