Science based reading has to be taught with fidelity otherwise it won't be successful for dyslexic students. Thank you IMSE for your work!

These are great insights. How does decoding help with reading comprehension? I am hearing that although coding can help kids learn to read, some of the heavy based phonics programs inhibit a child’s ability to comprehend what they are reading. Would a better approach be to balance these two methods?
