[quote=Anonymous][quote]No, my child was not "advanced" although she is currently ahead in reading (starting 4th grade). At the time she started 1st grade she was a DRA 4 and ended being a DRA 24-28. I went into the classroom once a week for reading class and did individual reading help for the kids that needed the most help (never my own child or the upper end of the class). I am certain that she had reading group with the teacher once a week (on Thursdays) with a few other kids. Of course the teacher taught to the whole group every day. But on Mon., Tues, Wed., and Fri. my child (and others) entertained themselves for 45+min. while the teacher did small groups with other groups. I suspect that the lowest groups met twice a week. The upper group only met once -- and given who else was in her small group, I'm pretty sure she was in the highest reading group. I have not been impressed with FCPS. It all sounds good on the website, but in practice, it's not impressive. [/quote] former first grade teacher: I knew things had changed. Maybe this works better, but I think I like the 'good old days".[/quote]
