[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe they are piloting a systematic phonics instruction program this year for grades K-2 and are going to expand it to all schools next year. This is to do in tandem with Benchmark. Why they chose Benchmark when it doesn't follow the science of reading is anyone's guess.[/quote] Not all schools next year. Their contract with Bemchmark lasts for 3 more years and the Elem LA Director said it would take about 5 years to make a major shift in ALL schools because the district is so large. At best, she will get ONE day this summer with all Elem teachers just to explain the science of reading. It’s unfortunate they were not taught this in college or required to take courses in the science of reading for certificate renewal. [/quote] FIVE MORE YEARS!!![/quote]
