[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious about whether there is a MCPS curriculum decision to not have small reading groups in 2nd grade but instead to read books as a whole classroom so that all students can experience the same books and discussion at the same time.

I’ve never known 2nd grade not to have reading groups.  Alternatively, reading groups have never substituted for the teacher reading a book to entire class.  Both are usually done.[/quote]

At our ES they had them but kids at or above grade level only met once every 1-2 months where as the struggling readers met almost daily.[/quote]

This is the norm.[/quote]

I remember asking my 2nd grader about this and they were convinced they didn't have a reading group so I followed up with their teacher and had it explained. They do but only meet every couple of weeks because they're 1+ years above grade level so they're not a priority and don't get equal time.[/quote]

NP, but the kids in the above average group in my child’s grade 2 class have a pull aside reading group with the teacher every 6-8 weeks.

Curious, did the teacher  have a set amount of time they went between meeting with the on level/above level group?  What did that group do in the interim?

This is the reason that I think all K-2 class should have part time of not full time paras.[/quote][/quote]
