[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baltimore teacher here. I started using Heggerty on my own for phonemic awareness since Fundations doesn’t have much PA. Heggerty is fantastic and my kids love it. The book wasn’t cheap but I’m used to buying everything myself. Fundations is slow and dull but it is systematic.[/quote] DCPS parent here. Our school adopted Fundations and it seems really solid - maybe slow from a teaching perspective, but my kid really seemed to lock into it. [/quote] Unfortunately it doesn’t align with the benchmark reading levels students should be on. Kids should be on a level D at the BOY in first grade. The curriculum just began blending CVC words now in first grade so if you follow the curriculum with fidelity, your students will not meet the benchmarks. Very frustrating when you do what you are told to do and then are told your students aren’t meeting benchmarks. [/quote]
