Have you looked on the "What Works Clearinghouse" for your research-base?
I've used the 1-Minute Reader CD's (part of Read Naturally) with a few
students with great success. One student in particular (and the first I used
it with) was a shy reader; very afraid of being incorrect. I find that the
outcomes haven't been so good with students who are quick to memorize text.
They don't have the need to follow along sufficiently with their eyes but
can actually mostly recite the text!
My special ed department has used Quick Reads with favorable outcomes.
I think they are 2 different programs, meeting different needs. I would
think it would depend on your student needs as to which you'd choose to use.
I don't believe they are published by the same people, either. QR is
Elfrieda Hiebert.
I, too, would like to know what 3x20 is. Is that something like the Daily 5
where you do 3 different pieces of reading 'work' for 20 minutes each?
And thanks to Teri for posting the "Summer Reads" by Elfreida Heibert! I
wasn't aware of that.

Subject: [MOSAIC] fluency programs
Hi all! I was wondering if anyone has had experience with both Quick Reads
and Read Naturally. I'd like to know what you think about the pros and cons
comparing both programs. Our 3-5 building has a lot of money tied up in one
program and our new principal wants to implement the other next year. How
do they compare in your experience with them? Also does anyone know of any
specific research comparing fluency programs. I know teaching anything in
isolation isn't the ideal in Reading Workshop, but we have seen pretty
consistent results in the past with 3 x 20. Thanks in advance for any
insight you have! norma
