[quote=Anonymous]There are two questions here that are getting conflated. (1) When is the right time to start reading instruction, and (2) what type of instruction should that be? Here in DCPS the science of reading (phonics etc) folks, as a general matter, tend to start earlier and the Lucy Calkins folks tend to start later (or not at all, depending on your view of Lucy). For me, I think the science of reading makes a lot of sense. But it probably doesn't need to be a big part of the school day in PK3 or even PK4. There should be a lot of time for play in those years. But in the past it seemed challenging to find a school that would take that approach. Maybe things are changing after the shift back to phonics in more affluent schools, as a result of "sold a story" and increased awareness, generally, about these curricular issues. [/quote]
