[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trying to teach to the test doesn't actually work. If you want to raise reading test scores, you actually need to teach more content starting in elementary school. Dedicating most of the school day to reading and math is actually the problem rather than the solution. Reading comprehension is not actually a skill. In order to comprehend a text, students need vocabulary and background knowledge. The best way to develop vocabulary and background knowledge is to teach content, including history geography, science, literature, art history and music appreciation. DCPS leaders still don't get it. So no matter how much time and effort is dedicated to skill building and test prep, the needle doesn't move.[/quote] So spot on.[/quote]
