[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been really impressed with Lafayette's literacy instruction (or at least, the instruction provided by my child's K teacher). They really focus on the sounds that letters make. I believe they use something called the Fundations literacy program.[/quote]

Thanks for this info and for citing Lafayette. Can anyone else speak to any of the other DCPS schools in ward 2 and 3?[/quote]

Mann uses Fundations and Heggarty. I’ve been super impressed with the reading instruction. Sidenote, my kids also really enjoy it and love stories/ books. [/quote]

Not especially relevant, but I think Fundations has the little rhymes and stories about sounds, which I loved hearing and thought were hilarious.  "When two vowels go walkin' only one does the talkin'" was a family favorite.  Also, there was one about the letter combos that make the "aw" sound that was cute, about how they were in love and so you say, "awwww."  [/quote]

This is relevant. Rhyming is a great technique to increase phonemic awareness.[/quote]
