[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. Both Writers Workshop and Readers Workshop are from the now widely discredited Lucy Calkins. Even Columbia U now has agreed her curricula do not work. There was never reproducible experimental evidence that either worked. It was just an awful educational fad. WW implemented as specified by its author reinforces spelling and grammar errors, rather than correcting them. RW teaches 3-cueing, and de-emphasizes Phonics. 3-cueing is a bogus method known to fail almost all students. Under VA's newish overwhelmingly bi-partisan "Science of Reading" law, VA public schools are banned from using Readers Workshop, Whole Language, Balanced Literacy, and other discredited approaches to literacy instruction. [/quote] So why do schools still use the Lucy Calkins curriculum if it has been largely discredited? I just checked, and it looks like my son’s K–8 school uses both the Readers Workshop and Writers Workshop programs.[/quote]
