[quote=Anonymous]I don't know the solution to the poor PARCC schools but my kid is in 1st at a DCPS and the reading instruction has been phenomenal -- DC is reading short chapter books before even starting 1st grade. And yes, there is some natural aptitude there (I think DC was going to be an early-ish reader no matter what) but I'd also say the instruction has been excellent. Phonics instruction was the focus of K and was comprehensive -- I was very happy with Fundations and Heggerty. We also had a great classroom teacher who supplemented beyond this for the more advanced students in class. So I guess for me there's no outrage because our experience has been good. And I don't know enough about reading pedagogy to tell you why it's not working for more students in DC.[/quote]
