I agree often as soon as "programs" are introduced the balance and differentiation goes away. ________________________________________ From: mosaic-bounces+mcostello=rhnet....@literacyworkshop.org [mosaic-bounces+mcostello=rhnet....@literacyworkshop.org] on behalf of sandra.he...@k12.sd.us [sandra.he...@k12.sd.us] Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2011 10:06 AM To: mosaic@literacyworkshop.org Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Reading Programs
Journeys in our district has resulted in lots of reliance on the basal and loss of balanced literacy. ----- Original Message ----- From: Laura Johnsrud [mailto:ljohn...@sevastopol.k12.wi.us] Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2011 08:25 AM To: mosaic@literacyworkshop.org <mosaic@literacyworkshop.org> Subject: [MOSAIC] Reading Programs Dear Colleagues: Our district is in the process of choosing a ³reading series² for our shared reading program. We are a solidly grounded balanced literacy school and want to be sure to maintain the integrity of this philosophy. What we really need are materials that provide a scope and sequence for our shared reading program, spelling, and writing. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with Houghton Mifflin¹s Journeys program or Pearson¹s Good Habits, Great Readers program. We have a long history of training our teachers to teach the comprehension strategies, but with a lot of new staff, they are hungry for materials that will give them more support and consistency. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
