This is a question for Kindergarten teachers: If you have moved away from teaching a "letter of the week" and introduce the letters more quickly or naturally please let me know how long you have been teaching this way and how it is going in your classroom. What percent of your students are reading at a level C by end of K?

My first two years we've used Open Court, but after an IMSE training, my principal told me that I can use that, but would have to set up a Guided Reading program around it. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. As far as the reading part of the curriculum goes, I am planning to incorporate the Open Court materials. Thank you in advance!
