[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say I was definitely unprepared to teach my kid how to read, but balanced literacy (especially virtual Benchmark) wasn't working for them so I had to figure it out. Just reading to my kid every night, which is what they tell you to do in kindergarten and 1st grade, wasn't enough either. I am all for helping my kids with their homework and providing some enrichment but it would be good if you could rely on school to provide a strong foundation for learning to read. Particularly given the length of the ELA blocks.[/quote] At our school, the teachers spend all their time with the kids who are struggling to read for various reasons. Kids who are above or close to grade level end up being ignored. It isn't until the higher grades where there's more differentiation that it changes.[/quote]
