[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please read “The Knowledge Gap” by Natalie Wexler. Lucy Calkins is HORRIBLE. I can’t believe teachers go along with this. [/quote] Every teacher and school administrator should read this book. I doubt many of them have. [/quote] It’s basically an opinion piece. All of my kids learned to read by me via whole language. All were reading at a 3rd grade level upon entering K. Head sprout (if it’s still around) was also part of my mom curriculum. Re phonics - You are teaching kids to read laugh and write it as laf. Why would anyone want their child to learn phonics in K? I still remember the K teacher “correcting” my DCs spelling/phonics test. Laugh was marked wrong and corrected as Laf. School was Skool. My poor DC came home crying. I had to schedule a conference and explain that DC DRA was a 36 and to stop teaching DC phonics. [/quote]
