[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1st grade teacher here. We definitely teach reading! What frustrates me is when parents don’t support at home and assume that the learning done during the school day is enough. Some kids really do need extra practice at home. Also, we teach phonics and handwriting through FUNdations. I think 3rd grade teaches cursive with another program (handwriting without tears?) this is DCPS. [/quote] Baltimore City teacher here and we also use Fundations for phonics and we have the same issues with parents not following up at home. There is a general lack of parent involvement in anything unless it is fun- field day, etc. But even Fundations doesn’t provide everything (little to no phonemic awareness). We are definitely moving in the right direction with reading instruction but kids won’t be able to meet benchmark standards unless we get extra help. [/quote]
