[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The curriculum the PP refers to is used for close reading and writing, which is only about 30 minutes a day at the elementary school where I teach. Phonics is taught using Fundations, which is another 30 minutes, phonological awareness is taught using Heggerty, which takes about 15 minutes. There is also small group reading time, which is about an hour at my school, in which the teacher meets with small groups for reading practice while the rest of the class does independent or group centers. The reading groups used to be guided reading, but the past couple of years we have been moving towards a science of reading approach so we used decodable texts instead of leveled texts and we focus more on word recognition and decoding rather than guessing from context.[/quote] Horrifying. More dead-hand control over teachers, less differentiated learning. Sounds like a war on high-functioning girls. [/quote]
