RON MCDERMOTT spoke of SPELLING RESEARCH to DAN TRIPLETT on 10-24-96
RM>DT>Since you seem so swayed by empirical research data, perhaps you'd
RM>DT>like  to support your last statement.  Provide us with some
RM>DT>replicated studies  that clearly show the conventional spelling
RM>DT>method is superior to whole  language or any other approach.

RM>I don't have any, I am simply drawing a conclusion based on
RM>personal observation (sound familiar ?)...
Only sounds familiar because I have heard others say this very same 
thing.  I include my self in that group although I am the more informed 
since I am on the front lines in the early childhood section.  I observe 
it from a different perspective.  So therefore my views count more.  
Right?  
 My "conclusion"
RM>would not stand up to scrutiny... 
Mine would....:)
Dan
ps....besides my conclusions are backed up by research.
