[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS continues to get it wrong on early reading, even when the evidence-based methods to teach reading have been clear for many years.

MCPS has been getting it wrong in reading for a long time, but to be fair, 3rd graders tested in 2022-23 are at a distinct disadvantage compared those in future years.  MCPS did not re-introduce phonics until last year and only for years K-2.  I don't know why there was not some phonics remediation for the older readers who are testing below grade level however.

For those posters who are saying, parents should have been teaching the phonics at home, yes obviously we know that now!  But we were being told that isn't how it's taught anymore.  And not just in MCPS, my poor nephew was put in that awful Reading Recovery program.  Was all such a struggle and my sister eventually pulled him and found an OG teacher but it turned him off reading.[/quote]
