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.
Many communities experience social exclusion, such as racial (e.g., black) (e.g., Untouchables or Low Castes or Dalits in Indian Caste System) and economic (e.g., Romani) communities. One example is the Aboriginal community in Australia. Marginalization of Aboriginal communities is a product of colonization.
