[quote=Anonymous]My son was in K last year and was already reading when he entered and scored above the end of year benchmark on the DIBELS test in the Fall. When I asked about enrichment I was told they weren't doing any that year because the curriculum was new and the teachers were still learning it. I just read more challenging books with him at home and had him sound out more difficult works for decoding practice. The lists they sent home were useless because he had those words memorized.  I will say that even though he was pretty bored in the skills lessons of CKLA especially he enjoyed learning all the terms like digraphs and whatnot.

Thankfully in first grade he has a teacher that actually differentiates so I'm more hopeful. The school also has an intervention/enrichment block built in, which seems to be new. I've heard a lot of schools are implementing them, so that may be something to look into. His teacher announced that first grade is focusing on reading first (for the intervention block) but my son told me he's in a group doing writing. I guess that's something since he's just on grade level there, but I'm still holding out some hope for some true enrichment.[/quote]
