[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid with dyslexia, and I would say that in kindergarten you can't tell yet whether your child is just not developmentally ready to read (kids develop reading readiness at different ages and it does not reflect their overall intelligence) or if there is an underlying issue. I would check in with the teacher to find out whether they used an evidence-based method to teach reading, but for now at home just provide a rich environment of available books and reading aloud.[/quote] Given this is an MCPS forum, the teacher is most likely using Benchmark. Which is not an evidence based program and IME most teachers don’t like it. I wouldn’t stresss too much either OP but there are some good suggestions in this thread for helping build a better foundation for your child. That is lacking in MCPS and even if yours is one for whom reading will click on its own, having a better foundation will pay its dividends.[/quote]
