Hi,
Does your child receive spelling instruction in a MCPS elementary school? If so, at what grade did it start and at what grade did it stop? Thank you. |

For my 3rd grader it started this year due to the new curriculum (CKLA). I heard of other kids getting it in the younger grades prior to the new curriculum but I think it was teacher dependent.
The new curriculum definitely calls for it in 3rd grade but I don't know about other grades. |

My kids knew the spelling of simple sight words before kindergarten. I was teaching them spellings at home.
US education for K-12 is pretty bad. I am surprised parents accept that. |

Kids no longer in ES, but yes received specific Spelling instruction in 2nd. Reading Specialist pulled out the advance students to make it easier. Word Study was done 3-5 on both general ELA and ELC. Not really sure how or why other schools/teachers have not been doing word study.
That said I did phonics and reading from preschool through 1st at home. Bananagrams are friends. |

| My kid is now in ninth grade and didn’t have spelling after second grade. His spelling is abysmal when he doesn’t have spellcheck. |
