The typical kindergarten homeschool curriculum for reading is phonics-based. After decades of observing public school experiments with whole-language reading instruction and the subsequent drop in literacy rates, most homeschool families turn to traditional phonics for reading instruction.
Social exclusion (also referred to as marginalisation) is a concept used in many parts of the world to characterise contemporary forms of social disadvantage and relegation to the fringe of society.
Sometimes exclusion is deliberate and explicit â for example, when people from a certain social background are denied access to a particular facility. Sometimes it can be implicit and unintentional, and is simply a result of people adhering to engrained norms and values, and established forms of social interaction.
