Beginning at the top, we feel like the title should be changed to "Learning to read ''English''"

I plan to rewrite this paragraph and will refer to the reference that is already there. While I am sure the intent is good, it seems to be based on opinions rather than verifiable facts.

"Which style to use in teaching reading has divided educators for years. It is now known that using the two approaches together is more powerful than either program alone.<nowiki><ref name="Rayner, 2001"/></nowiki> The technical skills learned through phonics are important for many children when learning to read, spell, and general language comprehension and engagement of children in the whole-language approach is also important to keep the children motivated and excited to learn. Many teachers and schools acknowledge this and say that they use multiple methods to teach children to read." [[User:Jnhmunro|John]] ([[User talk:Jnhmunro|talk]]) 20:11, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

==Suggested merger==

I suggest we merge '''Reading education in the United States''' with '''Learning to read'''. And, I am happy to start this if there are no objections.

''Reading education in the United States'' appears to be unnecessary, incomplete, inaccurate, and may contain promotional material ("Native reading" appears to be an advertisment).

If we merge these articles, we could add a "History" section in ''Learning to read'', and incorporate the US material together with material on other countries. We might also add a section about attempts to measure the effectiveness of reading education (''PISA'', ''PIAAC'', ''PIRLS'', ''NAEP'', OECD-TALIS, and perhaps ''National reading panel'', ''Rose report'' etc.)

Most of the other material is covered more accurately in other articles (Learning to read, Phonics, Whole language, Literacy, etc.).

Please let me know what you think. [[User:Jnhmunro|John NH]] ([[User talk:Jnhmunro|talk]]) 14:27, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

* I have added a "history" section with a view to merging '''Reading education in the United States''' with '''Learning to read'''. I Have attempted to use as much of the good material and references as possible from Reading education in the United States. I realize a great deal of work has gone into that article.

I have also added a section called Reading achievement: National and international reports. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I may continue to tweak this section.

Thank you.

==Material copied from Reading education in the United States to Learning to read==

I have respectfully copied a great deal of information from ''Reading education in the United States'' to ''Learning to read'' because the plan is to merge the two under Learning to read. The intent is to protect the good work that has gone into ''Reading education in the United States''. Thanks to all who have contributed. I welcome suggestions and contributions.

==Preparation for merger of "Reading education in the United States" with "Learning to read"==

I have added information to the History section in "Learning to read" from the Phonics page "Practices by country or region". I believe the Learning to read article can now stand on its own, so if there are no objections I will soon redirect "Reading education in the United States" to "Learning to read".

==The Tag on the "Reading development" section==

The tag on this section appears to be correct. The section does not appear to be entirely encyclopedic. It seems to be based largely on the opinion of one author who makes a very good case for there being "five stages of reading development". Yet, there are many different points of view on this subject. For example, some describe five ''different'' stages. Others see two, three, six stages, etc. Others see it is a lifelong process (See [[How to Read a Book]]).

I suggest the section be rewritten with an encyclopedic tone and style, having more viewpoints and references. Of course, it also seems to be appropriate to show how reading fits into the development of literacy.

I am happy to start this and welcome your suggestions. [[User:Jnhmunro|John NH]] ([[User talk:Jnhmunro|talk]]) 18:04, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

==Suggested merger of Teaching reading: whole language and phonics with Learning to read==

I suggest we merge [[Teaching reading: whole language and phonics]] with [[Learning to read]]. They are opposite sides of the same coin, so to speak, and it would much easier to maintain one page with integrity. Learning to read already has a section called "Methods of teaching reading". I am happy to start this and am open to suggestions. I would utilize material from both articles, of course. [[User:Jnhmunro|John NH]] ([[User talk:Jnhmunro|talk]]) 22:57, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

==Merged "Teaching reading: whole language and phonics" to this article==

I have merged the two articles and removed the flags. If I have missed anything, please leave a note and I will fix it. [[User:Jnhmunro|John NH]] ([[User talk:Jnhmunro|talk]]) 20:02, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

==Reading development section seems to be too wordy==

In my view the reading development section part attributed to Maryanne Wolf is still too wordy. I propose to slim it down a bit, leaving the essential details, unless someone has an objection.[[User:Jnhmunro|John NH]] ([[User talk:Jnhmunro|talk]]) 20:21, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

==Merging two sections: Skills required for proficient reading and Learning to read==

It seems to me that it would be easier on our readers if we merged these two sections. As a result, readers would not have to search around to make sense of it all. I am happy to do this and welcome suggestions. [[User:Jnhmunro|John NH]] ([[User talk:Jnhmunro|talk]]) 22:36, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

==Proposed merger of Learning to read with Reading==

I propose we merge [[Learning to read]] with [[Reading]]. This would enable our readers to find information more easily. It may be that many readers go to Reading when they really want more in-depth information about reading acquisition or teaching reading, etc., and don't know where to find it. Many readers, perhaps a majority, read Wikipedia on a smart phone so they may not see the "Reading" menu.

I welcome your comments. If there is an agreement to do the merger, I am happy to begin the process. [[User:Jnhmunro|John NH]] ([[User talk:Jnhmunro|talk]]) 15:46, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
