[quote=Anonymous]My SIL (ES teacher) and I were just talking about this over the weekend. I was surprised to hear from her that their curriculum doesn't require kids to read books and do book reports. There's no 'time' for it between all the teaching for the test. What?? "Do they read ebooks?" "No, but they do read passages similar to what will be on the state test." "Does your school have a library? Do they get library time?" "Yes, but they aren't required to read there or even check out a book. They can play games quietly or even have a nap." A NAP?! My flabbers were gasted. My kids are all older (16-22) but even the 16 yo definitely had book reports in ES. SIL said even her best & brightest kids are terrible readers, and the weakest section for all grades during the state test is always reading & comprehension. [/quote]
