[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe all of ACPS is using the anti-science balanced literacy reading curriculum from Lucy Cawkins... the only exception might be Lyles Crouch. You will absolutely need to supplement in reading - and unteach your child the guessing strategies they will be taught in school.[/quote] This is absolutely correct. There has been some lip service to the need for evidence based phonics instruction in the Equity 2025 planning (but as part of “Balanced Literacy” which is a concerning concept), the system uses the good Words Their Way computer program, and there are some special needs teachers who use OG, the overall approach to reading remains in the Lucy Cawkins, non scientific dark ages. It is horrible (and permeates even into Specialized Instruction). [/quote]
