Government & Education TUTORIAL FOR NON-READERS

What? Late 19th century was like the beginning of the 20th century when modern technology started changing our lives—contemporary period starts in the 19th cent.to the present...

 

You speak the truth, your observations are on point. Poor quality education makes the problem worse.Be it online or modular, parents and the learners are on the losing end.

 

But did you need to give @Dutchie a trollin'??? They seem to be spreading faster than Covid-19.

 

What? Telling someone to relax with "a cup of tea and a piece of heavy cake" is condescending?

 

I know nothing about this as people's opinion of'what is contemporary will vary - so I researched it and found:

"Contemporary history, in English-language historiography, is a subset of modern history that describes the historical period from approximately 1945 to the present."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_history

This is also stated by others sites, including in relation to contemporary dance.

 

I have to admit this reply is what first irritated me to some extent. I refrained from writing an immediate riposte to avoid sounding too harsh.
However, having been accused of trolling I feel free to do so now.
To just state casually that my ex, whom I described as an avid reader (meaning she was reading books all the time, and enjoyed doing so), was actually just "browsing words" (which I understand as "not comprehending"; yeah right, read through all of Agatha Christie, John le Carré etc. etc. without comprehending, don't make me laugh) is a quick and naive judgement of a person the lady doesn't know a thing about.
Then she proceeds to deny my ex had any sort of dyslexia problem and accuses her of being sloppy or negligent with her writing.
That is condescending and insulting and that line exposes a total void of understanding dyslexia at its core.

Yes spelling comes easy for those who read if the person in question does not suffer from dyslexia, but not for those who do.
Maybe Miss Glenda is an excellent teacher, I can't say either way, but she needs to put her mind to what she is writing, that might help.

 

Possibly a reference to my roots...”heavy cake” meaning “hevva cake”. It’s ok, taken in spirit. Must encourage the asawa to attempt one. Yum.

 

An Internet search supports you @Dutchie

From the links below:
Reading’s very important but it won’t improve your spelling.

Spelling won’t happen because we read. A word must be consciously and deliberately learnt.

Dutchie, this reaction is difficult to understand. It was you who brought up your ex-wife’s alleged dyslexia in the first place, to apparently use to clarify your point. Nothing is known about her except what you yourself say. The commenter is not judging her on any basis other than what you provide, only speculating about her reading behaviors which you described as exhibiting dyslexia. Well, as a teacher that person has a body of experience that she can relate to as perhaps suggesting the cause of the dyslexia symptoms your describe. It was speculation, not actual “judgement” on her part as you presume. Might I suggest that if your do not want her reading issues to be subject to analysis and speculation that you do not like and may offend you, that you leave her out of any discussion on a public forum.
