I wrote this:

-=-Once a child is reading, it doesn't matter how he learned it. -=-

When I wrote that it was within the context of discussing unschooling.

I don't believe it out of context at all. Within the range of a child
learning through is own inquiries and experiments, I don't think whether his
own mental organization followed more a phonics-and-rules pattern or a whole
language and favorite words pattern, or any combination of tricks and tools.

I don't think traditional reading instruction is as good for the eventual
happiness of that reader as a flexible path to reading is.


And in that same post it started out with an automated quote-note which cited
the author of a post, but NOT the person who had made the statement.

Pam didn't really say that:
