Hi, In my experience with both, the best way to tell the difference is as follows: Comprehension Toolkit is designed for Shared Reading (all children have access to the text.) I do agree that some of the texts are too difficult and ordering the supplemental toolkit texts might be worthwhile. Making Meaning is designed for Read Aloud (the children do not have a copy of the text and the teacher does the reading) This program offers much higher teacher support, as a read aloud should. So, in thinking about what to order, think about if you are looking for a Shared Reading or Read Aloud program.
Hope that helps Stacy C. /FL _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
