What to do instead? Strategic reteaching where needed! Main focus remains on grade level standards and content.
English
When A, B, and C represent content from previous grades, and classroom teachers spend August through February teaching previous grade level standards, then only 2 months are left to cover their own standards! The cycle continues and acceleration isn’t happening.

Would add it’s just generally deeply offensive to assume the blame falls at the feet of parents when kids are having a tough time learning read - dyslexic or otherwise. It’s also outside of the realm of the school’s control, so both offensive and unproductive.

I’m shocked that this needs to be said, but: If you have a student who struggles to read, you should not blame the parents, for not reading enough. Lots of kids with dyslexia struggle to read despite having their parents read to them every day. You don’t know what happens in a kids home. Making assumptions like this is deeply offensive for the parents of kids with dyslexia. It also is a reflective of the disproven whole language model. Kids learning to read is not only a product of reading experience, for many kids it requires explicit instruction. Schools bear the primary responsibility for teaching kids to read, not parents.

Bela Karolyi was a man whose influence on my life and the sport of elite gymnastics is undeniably significant. He was a complex individual, embodying a mix of strengths and flaws that left a lasting impact on those around him.
Anyone who has followed my story knows that my journey under Bela's guidance as my coach came with immense challenges. His harsh words and critical demeanor often weighed heavily on me. While our relationship was fraught with difficulty, some of these moments of hardship helped me forge and define my own path.
As we bid farewell to Bela, I choose to send loving thoughts to his family and loved ones, and honor our relationship by embracing lessons learned and striving to help create a world where compassion and encouragement guide our actions. May he rest in peace.
