Pauline , I understand your dilemma. I am in the same position. Yet, no matter how good the program, the only thing that's going to level the playing field is PD. We started Wilson before Fountas and Pinnell. The problem I see with any phonics program is that it teaches the same skills to

As I have said before, this is the first year I am following the Reader's Workshop model. My district does not follow/support reader's workshop. I am lucky to have the freedom in my school to use any teaching structure I want. Out of almost 70 teachers, only 2 teachers in my school are
