RED ALERT!

Parents & Grandparents
Text Box: BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THIS HISTORY BOOK: “Building Fluency Through Practice & Performance: American History” This History book has been found in Public Schools and is teaching Socialism and/or Communism. Found in the middle of the Preamble to the Constitution, inserted after “promote the general welfare” on page 40 you will find these insertions: “rights to a job; housing; health care; fair wage, etc.” which is extremely similar to the Soviet Union’s Constitution. On the Website is the following: “ Research has shown that readers who engage in regular, repeated readings improve their word recognition, reading rate, comprehension, and overall reading proficiency. As students regularly read and perform these American history related texts, they improve decoding, interpretation, fluency, and comprehension. Students will want to read, reread, and perform these engaging and enjoyable selections.” Even more alarming the cover of the book has a picture of President John F Kennedy, and Washington crossing the Delaware. This book is created by Teachers for Teachers and Students. The Publisher is listed as “Teacher Created Materials Publishing.” The teaching idea is to increase the students fluency through repeated reading of traditional poems, songs, chants, etc. (Is it just me - or does this sound like brain-washing - ???????)
