## Resource

Can your children read at a proficient level? Allie looks at why most children can't, examining when schools ditched phonics and replaced it with whole language and sight-word approaches. The results have been disastrous, but Allie provides the tips and tricks as to how she has raised voracious readers. Producer Bri returns to critique fashion at the Met Gala, ranging from Jordan Roth’s ghastly attire (that poked Hugh Jackman in the eye) to Sabrina Carpenter’s surprisingly tasteful flapper outfit. Finally, the two engage in a very special game that proves how in sync they are … or are not. That’s for you to decide! Share the Arrows 2026 is on October 10 in Dallas, Texas!
