Look at Mondo Publishing Benchmark Reading It is a guided reading design that has focus lessons (scope and sequence) however once you have used it for a short period and are comfortable with the features, it easily lends itself to becoming a resource and the integration of other guided reading text. Our students have significantly improved in reading since we adopted this model three years ago. The publishing company and people are AMAZING, and the PD you receive is outstanding. Worth a look.

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.
