[quote=Anonymous]My son finished K this year and was already hitting the end of the year benchmark on the DIBELS assessment in the Fall. At his prek he had pretty simple phonics instruction & we read every night so somehow he picked up reading pretty well from that. I asked about enrichment and the teacher said that since it's a new curriculum there wasn't any planned enrichment. She warned me that his progress on DIBELS may be low and his scores may plateau as I guess that's what happens when the curriculum catches up to what higher scoring kids know already.

To my surprise his winter score was higher and I do see his ability to read more tricky texts increasing so he's still getting something out of it. He also loves the knowledge sections... it seems very age appropriate and engaging. His writing has also improved, which was probably his biggest need. He brought a writing journal home the other day with multiple (short) sentences for each entry and was using capital letters, punctuation, etc for the most part. He was a kid who'd rush through just tracing his name in PreK so the growth there has been great. [/quote]
