I second the Rewards kudos. I hesitated to reply as Judy did, as I don't use
it as a 'phonics' program, as Michelle asked. When students have
particular areas of need, I'll target those with speed drills or sorts as
well as word work. I have had great success with my middle school
students and Rewards and am looking forward to seeing how the growth
transfers when we do the last round of Fountas & Pinnell Benchmark
Assessments.

Personally I prefer REWARDS for older readers. - It is published by Sopris
West, same people who put out STEP UP TO WRITING - an incredible program for
explicitly teaching writing process and text structure. I have had a lot of
success with REWARDS, especially for middle school readers.

I need some advice and suggestions.....
Is anyone familiar with (or is using) the WILSON Just Words Program?
http://www.wilsonlanguage.com/FS_PROGRAM_WRS.htm It is a decoding and
spelling program for 4th -13 graders. We are looking for a remediation
program for our middle school students who have gaps in their phonics
knowledge that is impacting their ability to comprehend. I would
appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you.
