[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you haven’t yet, listen to the podcast “Sold A Story,” about Calkins and this whole ill-conceived theory of reading instruction. It is unbelievable. It is shocking to me that any reputable school still uses that approach.[/quote] I actually cried in my car listening to this. My DD who is in college now was one of the kids this program did not work for and she felt she was “stupid” and “slow” for not learning to read with this method but her second and third grade teachers at Sheridan kept pushing and pushing the method. Just stare at the pictures and you will figure out the words eventually. I can’t even imagine how many kids have suffered the way my daughter did. It’s terrible and the level of denial about it is insane.[/quote]
