[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Previous posters are wrong. Beauvoir uses Orton Gillingham along with its own syncretic workshop approach. [/quote]

Have you asked them? [b]You know “workshop” is Calkins right? [/b]I’ve asked - nothing official has been changed. So if they’ve changed in the last 3 weeks since school started and not told anyone kudos - but nothing formal has been announced.

Lucy Calkins does not own the term "workshop"!!![/quote]

Yes, but when a school talks about using the Reading Workshop and Writing Workshop models, I think it’s safe to say they’re using LC.

Not saying that’s what Beauvoir is saying, but it’s what our kid’s school talks about. [/quote]

Honey, use of the word workshop has been around a lot longer than Calkins and is used broadly to describe a number of different approaches to writing. Ever heard of the Iowa Writer's Workshop? Beauvoir encourages a writer's workshop approach, yes. They also use phonics and teach grammar.[/quote]
