[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid didn’t get one minute of reading instruction K - 5th grade. Then it was all test prep (how to answer SAT type comprehension questions). Not a big deal. She was obviously way above grade level. [/quote]

They never once met to discuss the basic theme of a book, why the characters did what they did, to have any class conversations at all about what they were reading with each other? [/quote]

Not until 5th grade. It was not a big deal because dc was already so far ahead. I couldn’t make waves at school about this in case a real problem came up. [/quote]

I think this varies school-to-school. My child did this kind of "book club" activity staring at the end of 2nd, and then through 3rd with the William & Mary curriculum. My child did leave their home school for the CES, but the home school piloted the enriched literacy curriculum that provided many of the same enrichment activities.

This was a Focus School in Blair cluster, for what it is worth. [/quote]
