[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what best teaches kids to read whole books? Seeing their parents reading a book![/quote] Doesn’t change the fact that it is a reasonable expectation that kids will read whole books for school. [/quote] I haven’t seen the article OP referred to, but not reading whole books doesn’t seem to be an issue at DMV private schools based on these responses. I don’t think OP needs to worry. [/quote] This is OP - asking because I'm considering switching from public to private (which would be a bit of a financial stretch). It is reassuring that the local privates do apparently still have solid English programs with full books and not just reading passages. Apparently DCPS Deal middle school recently stopped teaching whole books, which makes private more attractive. Here's the article I mentioned. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/us/high-school-english-teachers-assigning-books.html[/quote]
