[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s popular because it’s easy and lazy to “teach”. My kid brought the following Balanced Literacy sheet BS home: 1) use the pictures for clues 2) look at the beginning letter 3) look at the ending letter (wtf?) 4) make a good guess 5) read to the end of the sentence 6) as yourself, “does this make sense?” No it does not. This self-teach picture BS should not be how k-4 literacy is “taught.” Poor kids. [/quote] Mail that pathetic handout straight to the principal. [/quote] The above is an example of strategies we were REQUIRED to teach in our school district. They came straight from the Central Office RELA supervisors. We got trained in using them and were provided Anchor Charts to model the "Reading Strategies". We were told to teach kids to GUESS based on picture and context cues, and maybe a couple of consonants at the beginning and end. [/quote]
