[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who have listened to the first couple episodes, I am curious if any of the info resonates with your experience in APS? We have a kid in kindergarten and I don’t know much about the aps approach to reading. [/quote]

Are you teaching your kid to read by working with him/her at home?  I am asking honestly because if you are listening to a podcast about reading, I would assume you are.   Use a phonics based approach and read bob books at home or even an app like Starfall or hooked on phonics then switch to some harder books. Primary phonics are good, but scholastic makes lots of little phonics readers you can get cheaply.  My kids are 11 and 8 and they were easily reading in K because I worked with them at home. If you do this at home, you can worry about APS curriculum if you want, but you will feel less anxiety because your kids will be reading.

Your kids will be reading…. If they don’t have any learning difficulties (& are developmentally ready to read in K— many kids are not). I’ve worked with my kid at home for years, thank goodness, but I still “worry” about the APS reading curriculum because 1) my child has made lots of progress but likely has dyslexia, so he needs all the help he can get (home & school), & 2) I want everyone’s kids to learn to read, not just those with educated parents who have the time & will to help their kids at home.
