Here you go.

If you cannot see that there is a serious problem with the K standards, I cannot help you.
Are you a troll?

No research, no evidence, as usual.

The anti-CCer is yet again barking at the wind.

Done.

Here's a kindergarten standard: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.K.4 Describe familiar people, places, things, and events and, with prompting and support, provide additional detail.

This encourages Direct Instruction because...?

Please read up on Direct Instruction.

I already know what it is.

Do you not understand that it is encouraged by Common Core?

Why did they not include Early childhood teachers on the committee?

Could it be they knew there would be a problem.

By the way, who selected the committee?

No. Please explain specifically how the Common Core standards encourage Direct Instruction.

Then please provide some links to research that shows that it's developmentally inappropriate and/or damaging to expect 5-6-year-old children to be able to count to 100 and follow words from left to right, top to bottom, and page by page.

There is also a big difference between "teaching reading early does not correlate with long-term achievement" and "the Common Core standards are inappropriate".

No. Actually, there is not.

Research:

Teaching reading early is not helpful to long term achievement. There are many studies on this.
Common Core standards include reading in the standards for K.
as an aside: early direct instruction (which is encouraged by Common Core standards) can cause later social problems.

Now, we know what happens when you do not have Early Childhood teachers on the committee.

I thought Common Core standards were supposed to be based on research.

Please read up on Direct Instruction. The Common Core standards have nothing whatever to do with Direct Instruction. They also have nothing whatever to do with instruction of 3-4-year-olds. And that's entirely aside from the problems with the High/Scope preschool curriculum study.

So, you cannot use thinking skills to apply the research to the standards?

Look at it as a critical thinking exercise. You read the research that says that kids should not be pushed to read early. Then you read the K Common Core standards. It is really not that hard.

Plenty of Early Childhood specialists have come out in opposition to Common Core.

There have been longitudinal studies on teaching reading early which prove that it does not have a positive impact on long term achievement. The Common Core standards are inappropriate.

Which research, please?

There's plenty of research to indicate that the standards are inappropriate that was done before the standards were written. If you knew anything about Early Childhood development, you would know that. For that matter, if there were Early Childhood specialists on the committee, those standards would probably not have been written for K-2.

Not a teacher. No Early Childhood teachers on the list.

Fail.

Just shows how much they understand what goes on with young children.

I'm still waiting for links to research that shows that the Common Core standards for kindergarten are developmentally inappropriate and harmful.

Nevertheless, you can mock me all you want--you always do. However, I have seen the blank stares of a kid who was pushed too early. I have seen kids who can "call words"--even sound out words, but have no clue what they mean or what they have read.
I have also seen how quickly students learn to read when they are "ready".

I have taught hundreds of kids to read. How many have you taught?

Once more, we can now assume that there were no Early Childhood teachers on the committees. Why not?
