[quote=Anonymous]FCPS elementary teacher here, and OP is correct that this is not taught as it should be. It started going downhill fast when they took spelling off the report card. I literally heard teacher colleagues say we didn’t have to teach spelling any more. The spelling books disappear. Now, in many schools, little kids are getting Fundations for phonics, but not everywhere. Parents should contact their school board member about this, and should bring it up to the PTA, and ask teachers and principals to address their school’s plan. They took away language arts books, too, where the kids used to practice capitalization and punctuation. I don’t even know if the sixth grade teachers realize the basics often aren’t taught in lower grades. In grade level meetings, where teachers plan together, if it isn’t in the pacing guide, it isn’t included.[/quote]
