Christopher Pyne : Phonics and Whole Language Based Reading Assessments (PM Benchmarking) Do Not Match
1 like708 views
The letter recommends binning Australia's PM Benchmarking system for assessing reading in primary schools, as was done in the UK, in order to change teaching practices so that no child enters Year 2 without learning to read, including dyslexic learners. It notes that Finland would never subject students to such a benchmarking system.

Christopher Pyne : Phonics and Whole Language Based Reading Assessments (PM Benchmarking) Do Not Match
- 1. Dear Mr Christopher Pyne, The quickest way to change teaching practices within Australia, so that no child (including the Dyslexic learner) has to enter Year 2 (ie after two whole years of school !!) still learning to read, is to bin the PM Benchmarking system as they have done in the UK, and would never consider subjecting students to in Finland.
