“California Leads Chorus of Sounded-Out Syllables”
Ahh, this O-G teacher just loves to have the word syllables in a headline… especially in an article that actually talks about them intelligently instead of re-hashing the “phonics vs. whole language” oversimplifications.
It’s in the Feb. 9 paper, and on their site (www.nytimes.com) — tho’ you have to register, it’s free and I don’t think it’s the source of spam.
