[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading is twofold. IF students become proficient decoders, THEN they need the background knowledge and vocabulary to understand what they are reading. Public schools have been majority poor for the last 10 years. Poor kids aren’t known for having adequate background knowledge to comprehend what they are reading. [/quote] Schools using the Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) curriculum will be teaching that background knowledge and vocabulary as a natural part if the curriculum. I think APS and MCPS are migrating to CKLA. FCPS went with Benchmark, sadly. It takes 4-5 years of any new curriculum to have enough data on how well it works. Often teachers still are adapting and learning best ways to teach the new curriculum during the first 1-2 years. Have to wait until K students with the new curriculum hit 4th grade before the outcomes are clear. [/quote]
