I got the scoop from her. She said this is the first year that kids are expected to learn to read, and at a level c level. Where in the past they could focus on letters and sounds, but also how to stand in line, speak when spoken to.

Do they teach using phonics at all? I guess the ones who don’t learn their letters at home are at a disadvantage.
