		cafard on April 23, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: No one buys books The advocates of "whole-language" learning as against "phonics" seem to do a fair job of limiting or undermining literacy. Yet how it benefits them I don't see. And what is the reference of "it" in the last sentence? Literacy, or limited or undermined literacy?

I should have said and, instead of for.

Undermining is a form of limiting, and limiting is a form of undermining.
