Eddie, 

What are the 'real' rules and why can't SP supply/teach them?

I need no convincing that SP is the most effective means of teaching children to read initially but I do need convincing that SP is the most effective remedial reading strategy for older poor readers. Hence my continued involvement with this age group. I support and applaud secondary school SENCo who use SP because I am very aware of its value but I am equally aware that it will not resolve all of the reading deficits in these older age groups...... as Philip rightly puts it, the children need to be put in a position where they can teach themselves the 'real' rules and so far as I am aware, no-one is doing that yet. I would love to be the first and as they say, 'Hope springs eternal!'
