[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We no longer use the DRA. We do use the PRF. Reading groups are still a thing, but they will be more focused on phonics and phonemic awareness.

I haven't started small groups yet. The time has been spent assessing (PRFs, iReady, DSA, VGA). I'll start small groups after I finish assessing using the CORE and PASS assessments. The CORE and PASS are given based on how the students do in the phonics and phonemic awareness sections of the iReady.[/quote]

My kid doesn’t need phonics and phonemic awareness. She needs comprehension now (4th grade).

This is what you parents have been fighting for and now the pendulum has swung - hope you’re happy![/quote]

Parents have been fighting for phonics AND a rich knowledge based curriculum. Just wanted to correct this. [/quote]

Dyslexia parents got ahold of the state legislature and brought in iReady and science of reading.  So now suddenly kids will have “comprehension difficulties” starting in 3rd or 4th grade.  You will have to form a contingent and go to the state legislature and take control of the schools from they dyslexia parents.  [/quote]

Wow, what??? You sound crazy.[/quote]

Do I?

Here are some of the lobbying groups for dyslexia VA:

Here is the study they wanted:

And why they changed the assessment to incorporate dyslexia screening:

All done by the state legislature which was lobbied by parents who have dyslexic kids.

So does it bother you if schools screen for and identify reading issues in school age children? Or is it bothersome that schools use a curriculum which is proven to help children decode?[/quote]
