Why did someone resurrect such an old thread when we don't even have that curriculum anymore?

Staff is being trained in LETRS now and elementary teachers are getting structured literacy training this summer.
Hopefully the tide will shift in a big way.

That doesn’t help the kids who need the instruction now. It’s not like current kindergarteners can go back and do K when MCPS finally figures out how to teach kids to read properly.

What do you expect them to do? Go back in time? It could be worse--you could have had a kid like mine who had "virtual learning" kindergarten thanks to COVID.
