[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Potomac LS uses a Calkins/Orton-Gillingham hybrid.[/quote] Ours too but why???? Why not dump Caulkins? [/quote] Everyone heard "Lucy Calkins" and thinks "bad bad bad!" But if you actually read the research there are very specific issues with Units of Study that can be addressed through the use of Orton Gillingham. There are positives to a reader's workshop model. (To further muddy the waters, many schools use the term "reader's workshop" in ways that don't specifically refer to the Units of Study curriculum.) I'm not associated with Potomac but these programs can be used together in a thoughtful way. That's why you should look into what your school is specifically doing instead of throwing around buzzwords.[/quote]
