Rosie,
You're at a Reading First school?
Could you use the basal, but go deeper with their work once they finish the
requirements? Doesn't the HM teacher's guide have suggestions for gifted
learners? Could you find other books that have connected themes and run lit
circles with the kids? Could you do lit circles with the basal? Just thinking
off the top of my head.

I am really not sure how to answer this question.? My students can be
classified as gifted in math and/or reading.? I am not aware of each students
classification at this time.?
As far as teaching from the basal, all I can tell you is that my entire county
is required to work with the HM basal series.? We are supposed to be using it
with "fidelty" meaning supplementing with any other materials.? Of course this
is crazy and many of us do, however, we could get in trouble depending on who
enters the classroom.?
