[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you at a school that is piloting the "new and improved" Benchmark curriculum, or at one that is supposed to use Really Great Reading? Either way, you just inspired me to buy this book to help my kid learn to read this year in PK so we don't have to rely on MCPS. https://www.amazon.com/Teach-Your-Child-Read-Lessons/dp/0671631985[/quote]

DP.  How do we figure which of these is true of our elementary?[/quote]

The schools piloting the new Benchmark Advanced curriculum this year are:

Ritchie Park (K-5)
    Burnt Mills (K-5 Spanish Immersion Program only)
    Candlewood (K-5)
    JoAnn Leleck at Broad Acres (K-5)
    Captain James E. Daly Jr. (K-5)
    Rock Creek Forest (3-5) and (Spanish Immersion Program) (K-5)
    Washington Grove (K-5)
    Gaithersburg #8 (K-5)
    Brown Station (K-2)
    Woodfield ES (3-5)
    Rosemary Hills (K- 2)
    Oak View (3-5)

So the other schools get nothing? Great. What phonics program should the rest of us use at home?[/quote]

I can't believe our W feeder isn't on the list. Who can I call at the central office?[/quote]

Not at a W.  I'm glad MCPS is finally shifting to structured literacy for the sake of my preschooler.  But that doesn't help my 1st grader at a school relying solely on 1st gen benchmark.  There is very little phonics in that, which is why MCPS is making changes.  So again, what phonic program should I be using to supplement at home?[/quote]

Do an OG training and then you’ll get all of the teacher’s guides and materials you need. My training was through IMSE. [/quote]
