[quote=Anonymous]Our DCPS is finally abandoning Lucy Calkins entirely thanks to a new principal getting a PhD in an adjacent field (although the change was underway before her). The school is sending 4 teachers, including our reading specialists, to be trained in OG. My impression is that most people think it’s the gold standard for dyslexia and useful for all kids who struggle. But also, our DD’s K teacher at the same school taught about 2/3rds based on LC and only 1/3rd phonics. It was OK for my kid who ultimately picked up reading quickly/had a phonics-based foundation from us, but her teacher actually told my kid she was “wrong” for reading “puuppy” and told her to look at the picture… and then praised the kid who “read” dog. Obviously the text said puppy. Like wth. I was glad I heard this myself (because zoom school), because I would not have believed my daughter if she told me that happened. Teacher seemed solid otherwise… not just like a terrible teacher or something.[/quote]
