For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't know there's anything wrong with it.
Maybe. I asked my mother who had been an educator for some fifty years, and she said she knew the method as whole word learning, and hated it. She taught in special education and said most of her students were there because the method failed them. But learning and education changes every few years/decades so who knows what method will be deemed the best next and how it will fail some students as well.
