[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an ES teacher. Honestly, I know very little about Lucy Caulkins.[/quote] Perhaps you do not know it by name, but if you know a colleague who uses the phrase “use your picture power” with the young kids learning to read (K-1)—THAT is the horrible Lucy Caulkins. I HATE that phrase and my child’s teacher said it over and over and over and over and over. How about not using your picture power and instead, have the kids focus on the sight words, blends, digraphs, etc…? 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Another parent privileged enough to sign up with an O-G tutor once I realized FCPS’s (??) the teacher’s (??) method was crap.[/quote] DW and I teach elementary grades. Neither of us have ever heard “Use your picture power” or know what “UOS” is. I would say, “Use picture clues”. [/quote] That is what messed up my DC, with undiagnosed dyslexia at the time, picture clues made it seem like he was reading when he was not. [/quote]
