[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unpopular opinion. The ELC is based in the old strategies of reading instruction such as Lucy Calkins. An improved enriched ELA curriculum could be based in CKLA, be far more effective, and have students working on gaining similar knowledge across the board. The ELC curriculum has had intensive writing experiences but it has not had any emphasis on reading complex non-fiction texts, or even complex fiction texts for that matter. parent of a student who has been in an ELC in 4th and 5th and a rising 4th grader who qualifies.[/quote] ELC is not aligned to Lucy Calkins. It’s aligned with reading research for Gifted students. And while all the students in ELC may not be gifted, they benefit from the higher level of instruction and critical thinking. And I’m not sure what your kid got in ELC but mine certainly had Grammar, Vocabulary, chapter readings for homework, discussion of literacy elements, and writing with corrections.[/quote]
