![]() ![]() They hate the German phonics readers too. They read children encyclopedias instead gleefully. We bought and gave those away to friends. My oldest has a photographic memory and knows the Fry 1000 words before kindergarten and has no problem with the nonsense words test at start of kindergarten.īoth my kids hate phonics readers. ![]() When the public charter teacher test him at 6 years old, he cleared all the English nonsense words without problems. This kid learn phonics from German at 5 years old and then use them for English. Knowing the 220 dolch sight words and the 1000 Fry words somehow got him willing to learn to read. My younger boy did the leapfrog alphabet dvd and then is too antsy to do any more phonics. They just wanted help on memorizing the sight words. I asked if they wanted something to help them learn how to read, or something to help memorize the sight words. They were wondering if I had anything to help over summer before grade 1. I know they are doing sight words in K because a friend of my step-daughter had s child in K struggling with it. It could just be district-written materials like so many other areas. Reading intervention teachers deliberately teach phonics and phonemic awareness, but I don't know what specific curriculum they use. ![]() There are a number of "good" teachers who bend that rule, and there are a number of teachers who use their daily "word work" time to teach more phonics than what is written in the district instructional guides. For kids who aren't ready to read early, the dolch lists can cause lots of damage, because you aren't allowed to "sound out" any of the words you have to say them instantly. This is an upper-class area with lots of bright kids who read early, so that's an achievable goal for many families. Many of my friends deliberately teach their kids to read with phonics prior to kindergarten so the dolch lists don't mess them up. In higher grades they have spelling words each week and a dolch list that has to be mastered by all kids in that grade level. They teach both phonics and dolch sight words in kindergarten. Every classroom in every school across the district is supposed to be teaching the same lesson on the same day. My understanding is that much of the actual material covered is written at the district level rather than using textbooks or a specific curriculum. The word work portion is where teachers cover phonics, spelling, and grammar. These are the 5 things that kids are supposed to do everyday: read to self, work on writing, read to someone, listen to reading, and word work. Here they use the "Daily Five" as their overall approach to language arts. So, I looked into just homeschooling him and ended up pulling her out of school as well.Īnd the one kid who learned how to read like this (dd15) is the worst speller out of my 4 oldest kids. He was just getting left in the dust in that classroom. I'm so stupid," he would chant every day when he got off the school bus.and the crying/fighting when it was time to get ready to catch the school bus. Not to mention the constant, "I'm stupid. At the end of the school year, I was shocked when I realized that he didn't even know his letter sounds!! Dd15 learned how to read with this method, but ds14 couldn't figure it out, so they were pulling him out of class every day and putting him in the special education class. There was very little phonics instruction. They would recite the little booklets over and over again in class and then bring them home. My oldest two teens started off in public school and they were learning to read by memorizing these little booklets. Reading is actually why I started looking into homeschooling. Then, when that didn't work, they sent DD to "reading recovery" which wasn't much better.just more focused on the "shape" of the word. The school here basically taught reading through a method that I can best label as "hunt and peck." Lots of guessing based on pictures and the shape of the word. Imaginalo!
