    Would the signers explain if phonics is so essential why defend a commercial product that omitted it for 20 years and then be upset that anyone would denounce that omission — so screwing kids out of an essential is unifying but denouncing that omission is divisive?

    The argument that it’s okay for professional educators to omit phonics from instruction despite the research because the journalist failed to describe other features of quality reading instruction is dopey.
