[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like Really Great Reading also is not recommended by Ed Report. https://www.edreports.org/reports/overview/really-great-reading-2021

"The materials have a sequence for explicitly teaching all 26 uppercase and lowercase letters. However, there is no explicit instruction in letter formation. The materials contain explicit instruction in phonological awareness and have multimodal/multisensory opportunities for students to practice phonological awareness skills frequently."

Likewise, Ed Reports doens't recommend Benchmark.

I don't understand why MCPS would choose not one but two curricula that aren't recommended.

Is Ed reports the Be,-all and-all for curriculum review?

It's interesting that they don't review the usability of the curriculum I can tell you from experience it's a really tricky curriculum to use in it requires teachers to just be standing next to a smart board or laptop clicking on each slide. There's no way to move around the room and work with students while you're running the curriculum and since the slides are in the rgr website you can't use like an external clicker or something like that[/quote]
