[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I'm happy to hear that is the curriculum that we are adopting. It should teach more content (science/social studies) and I've heard good things about it. My question is are we keeping Really Great Reading?[/quote]

Why is a reading curriculum teaching content? Shouldn’t it be teaching things like decoding, spelling, and other reading skills?

Science and SS content should be taught in those classes. MCPS is such a joke[/quote]

You obviously have no sense of reading research.  Decoding keeps kids at an equal pace for a little while, but soon, lack of basic content knowledge holds back their comprehension of new words (why proficiency levels goes down as the cohort ages).  I believe the research says that kids need to understand about 80% of words before they can move forward.

Kids have to read something when they are learning to read.  Instead of inane AI generated stories, how about actual content?

Why don't you learn something about Core Knowledge before calling it a "joke"?
