I rencently moved to a new town. My daughter was in pre-k and did wonderful. She was head of her class and was fast on her way to reading. The new school’s curriculum is unfamiliar and I am having problems understanding some of its elements, such as why they would teach the children inventive spelling, the D’nealian alphabet and some math method called Wynroth? I know I was not the only parent befuddled by the curriculum. Does anyone know if these methods are now the accepted norm, please let me know that I didn’t make a huge mistake in moving. I looked into the school and it is ranked 8th in my state so that is pretty good. I am just having trouble understanding why this would be the accepted method in one school in the state and not in all the schools in my state?
