[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We no longer use the DRA. We do use the PRF. Reading groups are still a thing, but they will be more focused on phonics and phonemic awareness.

I haven't started small groups yet. The time has been spent assessing (PRFs, iReady, DSA, VGA). I'll start small groups after I finish assessing using the CORE and PASS assessments. The CORE and PASS are given based on how the students do in the phonics and phonemic awareness sections of the iReady.[/quote]

My kid doesn’t need phonics and phonemic awareness. She needs comprehension now (4th grade).

This is what you parents have been fighting for and now the pendulum has swung - hope you’re happy![/quote]

I am thrilled! I just hope they have given teachers resources to teach it correctly.[/quote]

This sucks for all the advanced readers in FCPS.  Research-based practices works great for the averages and has the strongest effects on the lowest groups (most room to grow = strongest effects).  [/quote]

that is why they have reading groups. [/quote]

But if the focus is on phonics and phonemic awareness doesn't matter what reading group they are in.  They already have that down.  So what's the curriculum for those who already have that ability.[/quote]

I think you would be surprised at the small numbers who actually have it down. Spelling is atrocious across the board- even in AAP.[/quote]+100[/quote]
