[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).  [/quo

Anecdotally my AAP middle schooler who is an avid and advanced reader and takes algebra in 7th grade and tests average on reading comp but cannot spell or pronounce out loud even basic words would have benefited from this curriculum [/quote]

If your kid tests average on reading comp on what basis are you saying they are an advanced reader? [/quote]
