OK everybody, She is new and probably on the wrong list, but she is
training to be a special education teacher and I think that both Orton
Gillingham and Wilson do have training programs for using their material.
I have no idea which is considered "better" and Lisa, people on this list
are really working on comprehension and I don't think either of these
programs emphasizes comprehension. I think, but I'm not sure that they
are primarily for helping kids with decoding and fluency issues.
And, unfortunately, almost every publisher has a training program and
emphasizes teaching their curriculum with "fidelity" in the hopes of
selling more basals and their accompanying material. Good educators take
what they can use, add it to their repertoire and ignore the rest.

I was confused by this as well. It sounds kind of creepy.

Other than Reading Recovery.
um.... do you mean "trained" ?
To me, the *best* reading program is a teacher who learns to do what
students need, when they need it. :-)

Subject: [MOSAIC] What is the best reading program?
My name is Lisa. I am finishing my masters in special education at
Manhattanville College. I want to become certified in a reading
program and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for me. I
was told that Orton Gillingham or Wilson are the best. What do you
think?
