It seems to be denied or ignored by those who are in favour of the practice. And worse, other parts of the world are just now implementing similar universal screening instead of learning from UK experience.

So children are performing better on the tasks in the phonics screening, which makes sense given the mandated push for focusing on these skills. The article is citing evidence that reading achievement has not really changed & that fewer children are reading for pleasure. That is troubling.

I wrote a whole paper in graduate school criticizing the Units of Study, so I’m not a fan by any means. Still, this is insane and sets a horrific precedent. It’s the type of zealotry that can only be found in the newly converted & under informed.

Reading & Writing & Talking (orally or through sign) are language activities. SoR rarely helps teachers understand the essential & foundational role of language. It’s completely mind boggling.
