[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure about the 2022-2023 school year, but when we looked last year, we discovered that Lucy Calkins, Fountas & Pinnell, and similar Balanced Literacy / Whole Language curricula were being used at Sidwell, Beauvoir, GDS, Potomac, Langley, Congressional, and many other local privates.  FCPS, APS, and MCPS were using either those curricula or similar ones which are equally atrocious.  This is both for reading and for writing,

See also several different earlier threads in the private school forum about having DC arrive in 3rd or 4th grade with a history of good grades, and parent being suddenly told their DC can’t read at or near grade level.

Very very few local schools use a Phonics-based approach, which works for virtually all kids.  One should look into the specifics for any schools which might be interesting for one’s own DC.

It is not a mystery why Johnny and Jane can’t read in most of the US.  Sigh….

[/quote]APS has switched to a phonics curriculum.  No more LC.[/quote]
