[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think the idea is that even if kids know phonics things like explicit grammar, how to build a paragraph and higher level pre fix/suffix words still need explicit teaching.[/quote] Our teacher was told she was explicitly forbidden to teach any aspect of writing a paragraph, or to explicitly teach grammar, or correct/teach spelling -- BECAUSE that was not allowed with Lucy Calkins' "Writers Workshop" curriculum. Kids instead were expected to magically learn grammar by osmosis or pixie dust. [/quote]+1. Some teachers would openly admit that they did not like LC curriculum but were told to use it. [/quote]
